This is our oldest granddaughter "K" ... They are all special , but I must say this is one of my favorite pictures. I wish I could remember what she used to call me (but four grandchildren and many years later, my memory fails me)
After raising three sons, she was our first (of four) PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRLS! A true JOY!
She used to tell either me, or her grandma "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" meaning that she wanted us off to herself, and oh what a pleasure. She was training to be a beautician back then and was using Ole Granddad as her Guinea pig. Once she rubbed lotion on my head until it was as slick as a baby's butt! And me, I sat there and enjoyed every minute of trying to make her happy, because she was surely making me happy too.
One of the many times she went camping with us, we had went for a long little walk ... just the two of us, and had to walk up and down a few hills. Well, coming back she got tired and I lifted her up and let her ride on my shoulders. As we came up that last hill, I was huffing and puffing... and we all laughed because she was too... just sitting on my shoulders trying to breath like I was.
Another time, and a few years later we were camping down at Whispering Pines and had to run to Clifton Forge to the Kroger store for a few things that evening. She said when we were there "I just love living like this!" she was so excited... Then for supper she wanted the "chicken with the turkey in it" .... (fried chicken breast)... of course we got a good laugh out of her. She was always so sweet, so cute, and so respectful.. and loved life to it's fullest! She is 15 years old now, ans still beautiful, smart, sweet and respectful.
I hope to find pictures of me and the other grandchildren from time to time and put them on the site too. We are happy and blessed by each of them. WE LOVE YOU GIRL.
