My grandmother passed away this morning, at 95 years young. My 3 Bees are her only great grandchildren and they loved spending time with her. The last few years she was in the Assisted Care facility in Lovell so when we traveled to Wyoming we got to see her daily and sometimes several times per day. I remember her always having to have her hair, nails and make up perfect. It would take her hours, and I do mean hours, to get ready to go to the store. She was very particular about her appearance, even this past summer she had gotten a haircut and was asking us how we thought it looked. The kids loved to visit her because she giggled and laughed at them, and got on me, in her funny way...they liked that!
Here are some of my favorite group shots of the kids with her....the kids sure look different!
