Happy Birthday Grandma

Today is Grandma (Lady Grandma's) Birthday (she liked to remind us that it was the same as Pearl Harbor day)

Grandma/Lady Grandma for those of you who are younguns was papa's mother. We called her Grandma; Susan called her Lady Grandma. Kristin, did you know her? I'm pretty sure if you did you weren't talking yet. . . 

I will have to get Dad to give me more details to share about her early life--and if anyone has digital photos of her, please e-mail to me. [editor's note: december 9th: kristin sent me the pix that are now included]

My memories are mostly when she was older--we would play endless games of crazy eights on the porch at 260. And I got to prepare the medicine she took for her heart--18 drops in a juice glass full of water. Looking back--I'm thinking it could not possibly have been her heart medicine. But i can remember putting those drops into one of those jelly jar juice glasses full of water before every meal. So it was probably something to settle her stomach--that seems a more reasonable responsibility for a child. .  .

I know others of you actually remember more about visiting summers in Wassaic. Brendan B. actually got to see that house this summer during the famed Cemetery Odyssey.

Anyway, I will try to find a pic to post with this and I will probably edit with a few biographical details after confirming with Dad, but I wanted to get this up on the actual date.

I will also put a post on the family website history channel.
