My grandmother and other members of our family made tape recordings telling of some of the old days and our history.Elaine/Muddling Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542943000832182111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-45162659710844841352018-01-20T04:49:23.282-08:002018-01-20T04:49:23.282-08:00Susie, I can see why your grandfather's obitua...Susie, I can see why your grandfather's obituary is a treasure. He sounded like a hard working man. It's sad to think of his suffering with his legs. I loved reading about the old ways. I am sure my parents and grandparents lived the same kind of life. I can not ever recall meeting any grandmothers and only one grandfather for one day, when I was 16. They always lived in Tennessee and we lived here in Indiana. Thanks for writing the history of your family, it's so interesting. Blessings to you my friend, love you, xoxo, SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-60644696403209505122018-01-19T08:50:02.694-08:002018-01-19T08:50:02.694-08:00Susie, your Grandpa sounds like a very special man...Susie, your Grandpa sounds like a very special man. And it's wonderful that you are writing this now, as it's almost January 21, the day when he passed away. I agree with you on the funeral expenses these days and all the changes that have taken place since those long ago days. Your grandpa sounds like he helped out family and neighbors so much and even the community. It warmed my heart reading your story, Susie, and I often wish we lived in simpler times that our ancestors lived. : )<br /><br />love, ~Sheri<br />Red Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-77394159858591141432018-01-18T14:54:27.361-08:002018-01-18T14:54:27.361-08:00This is a moving tribute to your grandpa, Susie.

One of mine died before I was born and we didn't see the other one very much. Grandma didn't like Daddy, my sister says, so we didn't visit much. I feel sorry for the way it must have made my mother feel. Anyway, thanks for sharing your memories. And ~ thanks for checking in with me; I'm blog weary right now but I'll probably be back soon.lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.com
