The last couple years my Grandma has gone through a lot.
In the last two years, she survived....back surgery, a stroke, broken pelvis, colon cancer, heart surgery and so much more. She is such a strong woman.
She is the one who taught me how to sew. Whenever I need fabric or any sewing materials she always lets me raid her sewing room.
She taught me how to bake our special Christmas cookies. This year me and my sister had to make them all by ourselves because my Grandma was to weak to help us. She did supervise though :)
She taught me how to crochet. On our road trips to Montana she taught me all the different stitches and was always so patient with me.
My grandma is the oldest of 12 siblings. She grew up and raised her family in Montana. She had seven children. She was always a hard worker and is very stubborn. She doesn't like anyone to help her with anything, which isn't always a good thing when we're trying to take care of her lol.
Last summer my mom and I found these old pictures of my Grandma. I scanned them and they were already in black & white since their so old!
This picture really makes me laugh because I don't think I've ever seen my Grandma drink. I guess it kinda makes sense though because she was a bartender for over 20 years. I'm guess my Grandma was in her 20's when this was taken.
My grandma and her sister Gloriane.My grandma is on the right. I love the old style of clothes in these photos! She tells me stories about how her and her sisters would take turns sitting up on an old building in their small town watching for enemy airplanes during WWII.
This is my grandma and grandpa on their wedding day. I never got to meet my grandpa but my mom is always telling me that he would have spoiled me silly :)
This is a picture of my grandma and I last November.
This picture was taken at Christmas time. I really like this picture because it just captures my grandma. Her wrinkles from working hard all her life. The look in her eyes. Her coffee cup :).
I love you Grandma.

What beautiful memories...AND pictures!
I often think those "days gone by" are "days" we sorely need in our "day and age". Hope that made sense: lots of "days" there! ;)
I too have recently posted about my grandmother (Memaw). She, as well, has been through ALOT the past 12 months. Broke her back... surgery followed a HARROWING 2 weeks later (during the time she suffered GREAT pain!). Broke her ankle...followed by surgery that involved putting pins in that ankle. Then, 2 weeks ago, her right arm was amputated due to severe bloodclotting. This is the grandmother I was named after (Her name is "Cleo". Mine is "Melissa Cleo".) These grandma's really do leave a beautiful imprint on our lives. Sorry to go on about my own Memaw...but I can so closely identify with your pain.
God's blessings to you...
Absolutely beautiful tribute and images!
Beautiful! Seriously gorgeous! I love your Grandma!
That first photo should be called "Vegemeatavitamin" ... it reminds me of the I Love Lucy episode! :)
