Another highlight of our trip was seeing Great Grandma Shirley. She was such a treat, and had a compliment for me and my kids just about each minute. I hope that I inherited her genetics (other than the obvious height genes I did not inherit....she is about 4'10" now days.) She has amazinge health, and is awfully beautiful. Any 87 year old who can live in the same house with 8 adults and 15 children for 2 weeks without being completeely overwhelmed is more than impressive. One of the things I was most grateful for this Thanksgiving was that my kids got to spend time with her. Quite a feet considering she lives in Southern Utah (3/4s of the weay across the country.)
Some things about my grandma:
- She can make anything taste good.
- She always fed me peaches and cream, made with fresh peaches fromk her back yard.
- She and my grandfather also grew plums, currents, appricots, raspberries, cherries and apples in their yard, along with a huge vegetable garden and flower gardens.
- She loves music
- She has worked very hard in her life
- She has 7 children
- She loves to wear a big corsage
- As well as a nice pair of clip on earings
- Everytime we visited her house, she would pull out a stool as we arrived so she could stand on it to give us a hug =0).

Loved seeing pictures of grandma it has been awhile since we have seen her. She is looking wonderful for 87. Loved the tribute of her too, she is the best grandma anyone could have. Amen to that!!
