A Trip Down Memory Lane at 93

Image
* FROM 12/10/2009 and was never published for some odd reason. Just found it in my "drafts". It was a very emotional trip for me. I miss her so much. I miss her and Papa. I recently went to visit my grandmother, who we refer to as Grammy, and found myself a bit overwhelmed. Grammy doesn't look 93, but she sure is beginning to feel it.

She recently had a spill where she fell on the tile floor in her kitchen. She did end up bruised and did hit her head, yet she did not break a bone.

Group/Couple Portrait - Jamie and Tosha

Image
For the group/couple portrait, I had a hard time getting people together at the same time for this photo.

When I made them write what they liked most about being a big and a little, I got some great responses. Here are the three photos I turned in for class, plus a few extras! Thanks, ladies! Enjoy! Here were the responses: Tosha: I like to be Jamie's little because she is so cool and funny. Jamie: I like to be Tosha's big sis because she is the little sister I never had, and always makes me smile! Peace. Love. Happiness. -rso-
