She lived right up against the hills, so it was a wonderful transition from the suburbs to a place with deer and quail and tall trees to climb. And there was always homemade bread and fresh canned apricots... and my Grandma Leora, who had a mischievous sense of humor and all the love in the world.<br /><br />So thank you for sharing your lovely story, and for making me recall happy memories of my Grandma.Sabrina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218305456791199409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-78787557846714634602012-05-14T09:15:44.621-07:002012-05-14T09:15:44.621-07:00You've had such an interesting life!

My children are very lucky to have had grandparents like these.

T...Lol Stefan, guys with manly tears are awesome!!<br /><br />Trisha, what a beautiful tribute to your grandmother. I agree that women like these are superwomen and make great heroines. They may not be snarky and kick-butt Buffy types, but they are strong, amazing women who work hard and never let down those they love even when they are completely exhausted. I think sometimes people forget that there are different ways to be strong.<br /><br />Oh and growing up in Europe does sound pretty amazing. I'm sure you have a lot of fabulous experiences to draw upon in writing.MaryAnn Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618345950149423623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-71202791586366586502012-05-13T16:28:47.462-07:002012-05-13T16:28:47.462-07:00Some manly tears trickled down my cheek as I read ...Some manly tears trickled down my cheek as I read this post...Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705496652945481096noreply@blogger.com
