A Few Pics We Missed

Here are a few pictures I realized that we hadn't posted. Too fun not to share!

Gramma and John Tudor, a magician. We saw him at the Columbia Children's Theatre.


Gramma decorated her walker for Christmas. Here she is after having her hair done!


Being silly at Hobby Lobby. Probably my favorite picture of Gramma!

Gramma's Bling

Gramma and the beautiful "Sandra Bullock" watch we gave her for Mother's Day. (Sandra Bullock wore a similar one in The Blind Side.)

Gramma at the Original House of Pancakes

These are a few pictures from a recent dinner at the Original House of Pancakes. It was just a few weeks ago, but it seems like forever now!

This is a picture of Alice with Bob and Nancy, friends from Starbucks!

Gramma and her famous rain hat. She's had one like this as long as I've known her.


As you see, it provides great coverage, but isn't exactly a fashion statement.


I once bought her a stylish pink Totes rain hat, but she swears by this style. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone else wear one...

Great Memories

For those of you still checking the blog, you probably know that we're close to losing Gramma.

Tonight, I was looking for a particular photo of Gramma to send to Mom, who is working on the obituary. (Gramma is still with us, but Mom is getting everything ready ahead of time.) I had a ball looking through the photos we've taken over the past two years. What fun we've had, and you've seen a lot of it here.

Always living three or so hours from Gramma and Grampa, Beth and I really only saw them for holidays. There were weeklong summer visits, and Beth even lived with them a while when Dad was hospitalized in NC. But by and large, our visits were only for holiday celebrations.

We were so fortunate to have Gramma come live with Mom and Dad two years ago. We had lots of quality time to spend with her, and got to know her in a totally new way.

I invite y'all to scroll through this blog this evening, like I have, and see the many adventures our Alice had in Columbia.

More to come later.
