She made dresses my mom and aunts used to wear
She could fly a plane before she could drive a car
She thought the UP was one of the best places on earth (and I agree)
She recylced aluminum foil long before being green was cool
She might have been the worlds best knitter
She used to listen to records in her dad's office
She made her kids doll clothes and stuffed animals
She could name more silver patterns than I knew existed
She loved to swim
She listened to NPR
She used to feed 6 mouths on a tight budget
She taught us to make thimbleberry jam
She drank her coffee black
She loved chocolate but might have liked shrimp more it's a toss up
We'll miss you grandma! xoxo

Katie,
I am so very sorry to hear that your grandmother passed away. What a lovely tribute to her. I also love knowing that you spent the fall with her and I know she loved every moment of it. You are a wonderful person and your life is so richly blessed having the family that you do.
God's peace be with you during this time of sadness and celebration of a life that will be missed.
