grammy was a fashionista

It has been six years now since my grandmother’s passing.  With each passing year it becomes easier to reminisce and recall her life, moments large and small, with fondness and joy – though there are still those moments when my heart aches with the sadness of missing her kind face.

I can still remember the smell of her face cream as I kissed her cheek, the way she would ask me to “be a dear and get my…,” the laughter she would stifle when the kids would be a bit too inappropriate at the dinner table, the taste of her German Chocolate cakes, the sight of her assorted nail polish and lipstick on her bedroom vanity.

A fun reminder of her today – seems she was fashionable beyond her years:
