Many time I'd pop over after school or on a Sunday and she'd ALWAYS put on the tea kettle and we'd drink tea from her selection of very fancy tea cups. She had beautiful flowers in her garden and would often send me home with a cutting of sweet peas or some other flowers.<br /><br />I wish my kids could have that kind of close relationship with their grandparents - but one set lives 3 hrs away and the other set lives 18 hrs away.Edihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881967873653190545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-62636430767742384002009-04-25T12:24:00.000-05:002009-04-25T12:24:00.000-05:00I think your blog as well as your mothering are be...I think your blog as well as your mothering are beautiful tributes to your grandmother.
