Grandma.... I love you!

The things I will always remember and cherish about my Grandma Crabtree......
  • Her huge collection of holiday decorations
  • Saying "Hello Hello" with jazz hands as you walked in for a visit
  • Trips to her swimming pool during the hot summer days
  • Her annual birthday party for her grandchildren
  • Always misspelling my name as "Garen"
  • The state quarters she gave to us for every year they came out
  • Clicking her dentures
  • Her comments on my roosters in my hair when I'd go to visit her
  • Her laugh (it was almost like a giggle from a little girl)
  • Her strong testimony
  • Her example as a mother and grandmother
  • Always having her finger nails painted
  • Her love for family
  • Me and my cousin trying to figure out how we could get out of eating grandma's sloppy joes
  • Her faith
  • Her singing toys
  • Playing in the basement of her old house with the dolls
  • How she often hummed songs
  • Watching TVLand shows
  • Her blowing out a whole cake full of candles... in one breath!
