Kathy’s Grandmother and Grandfather. Wow, the stories I have heard about these two are something else. They were very much in love and very much into having fun. A word I heard from a number of relatives including the wonderful daughter of the Grandmother is: he was the only one that made all the fun in the family. Every time you turned around he was the one that got the family up and having fun. Talk about memories; he must be responsible for all kinds of great memories for all the relatives and friends lucky enough to know him. I never had the privilege and I can tell you from the stories he was one great guy. She was no slouch either; they were a team that just never made it to the big screen. Little things, like the thought I just had and it was worth smiling over. Kathy’s Grandmother would allow her to take a spoon and the jar of peanut butter and walk around the house eating out of the jar; I doubt they told the other guests, but what the heck, it’s all family anyway; never hurt any of them; turned out just fine. You may remember Kathy’s Grandmother from another picture; the one where she is posing on the tree stump. They went to the lake and some would say she was just copying the kids as they posed; but I say oh, no; she was the leader of the pack. Grandma posed on the stump in a classic pin-up pose and then her daughters were hard pressed to keep up. Just because one of her daughters and Kathy’s mother posed in a grass skirt, and Kathy has posed in some rather great poses, doesn’t mean this type of thing runs in the family; but you can’t prove that by me. Heck they are all great looking and they know how to pose, well what do you expect. The fun is in the blood and it flows through the family. That’s what makes the memories the family gets and the kids have to live up to. I do think Grandma was a hard act to follow and not soon to be forgotten. My wife’s mother’s daughter’s Grandmother was a true lady and she was there for you. Gosh I know there are more great stories that need a little nudging, but it is something to work on as the right picture comes up to generate the right memory, and if it is fit to print maybe I will; after all, what good is a good memory if you don’t share it. Sharing is the caring that makes the world go round, and love and memories are the glue that holds it all together. Until I get another though, and by the way if you made it this far thanks for listening or reading as the case may be. Please enjoy the pictures and some of the memories; I know we do, and thanks.
