I appreciate her for so many memories, not least of which is that she is my only other co-member of "The Ethel Club," since she is Nancy Ethel. I still think of her often and how I wish I could go talk with her about what she's been reading and about her early memories. <br /><br />Happy Birthday, Grandma!<br />Love,<br />Susan EthelSusan Kinsellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780249606134339035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-20000226341914082562014-07-28T12:39:17.061-04:002014-07-28T12:39:17.061-04:00They are wonderful pictures!

Gladys helped him pick it out! He did collect stones from fields for years for the foundation and some lumber came from his woods. <br /> Before Byron died there was talk of cutting out a lot and building a house for he and Grandma Kate. [ so I read!} Never happened. In her old age, Adin decided to make it easier for both He and Grandma and he had this built. She never really appreciated it and mourned for "HER " old house BUT she was so blind by then that it must have been hard for her to keep house! Less work for Adin, at least! <br /> Remember his lawn mower? [ he let the cows in to graze front yard!!} CB/Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-67431836570966574442014-07-17T20:23:26.486-04:002014-07-17T20:23:26.486-04:00Wonderful pictures!

It's one of my most favorites ever of Mom, and I love how Adin looks like he's just about to say something wry, if he can only manage to stifle just outright laughing. Even I look good, which is a VERY rare lifetime trait. Not one of the best of Grandma Kate, but I am so glad to see her here. <br /><br />And then the background of the weatherbeaten clapboard on the house that Adin built with his own hands. In my imagination, I am opening that front door and entering into the living room, with its big wood-burning stove, that still lives so vitally in my memory.Susan Kinsellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780249606134339035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-56558238746316317652014-07-16T13:45:09.541-04:002014-07-16T13:45:09.541-04:00Ah yes, it seems like only yesterday!
