November 3. You-Shouldn't-Haves

1. Granny Smith's long, love-filled life
2. Skipper the poodle
3. A multigenerational family
4. They way my mom loves her grandmother
5. dumplins
6. lawn gnomes
7. homegrown tomatoes
8. small lawn animal figurines with silly names (given by yours truly)
9. catching my first toad in Granny's back yard
10. Blunt, bold honesty - just like Granny's

Granny Smith - may you rest in peace. Thanks for being a phenomenal Great Grandmother to me, and even more so - a terrific example and loving grandmother to my mother. I think she will be a great grandma to my kids because of the way you showed love to her, made dumplins for her, taught her how to sew, and always saw her off to the train. You're missed and loved.
