See Ya Later Alligator!

This evening when I got home from work, I changed my clothes and walked to the grocery store to pick op some items for tomorrow's pot luck.

As I was walking I was reminded of my childhood walks with my Grammy.

She suffered a heart attack when I was maybe ten years old and that summer as she rehabilitated I got to stay at her home...for the WHOLE summer. I loved that!

Part of her rehabilitation was to walk for excersise.

So in the evening, before my Grandpa would get home from work, she and I would throw on our tennies and head down the block. Trash day was always my favorite. On trash day, my Grammy and I would have a contest to see who would find the most change. There was ALWAYS change to be found on Trash day.

Up we'd walk, and back. Sometimes Grammy won. Sometimes I did. Either way, I was a winner because I was with my BEST friend.

So yeah...today's walk reminded me of those times.

My Grammy's been in heaven for about 25 years now. I miss her, yet I know that she's there with my Mom and one day I will see them BOTH again.

On this day, "30 Days of THANKFULLNESS: Day 10 - I am THANKFUL for the wonderful memories of my Grammy...my very first BEST friend.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: What is your fondest memory of you grandparents?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
