Much Anticipated.
Here are all those pictures I took on Saturday while visiting with my Grandma. Forgive me…. this is going to be a long post… you have been forewarned. Enjoy.
This is Bob. He is my Grandma’s cat. He’s cute. I know. Can you believe he was a stray?… Somebody really missed out. This is how we spent our Saturday with Grandma.


** he is giving me the stank eye since this is like the 100th picture I took of him - HA! **
Bob and I then got bored of staring at eachother (my Grandma is very, very sick and she was sleeping mostly), so we wondered about the house taking pictures.

** my Dad and his sibling’s bronzed shoes…. **

** my G-Ma’s collection (part of it at least) of Chaquina Dolls **

** my Great-Great Grandma’s china **

** Mary. Mom painted this for my grandma when her and my dad started dating in high school **
After roaming about the house… we went outside into the workshop. My Grandma’s workshop is like and unfinished garage… it was dirty and I didn’t want to venture too far in (fear of spiders, you know).

** just inside the workshop door **
After that… into the massive garden my Grandma is so proud of….

** teddy bear in the fern **

** potted cacti **

** the family of ducks my Grandma and I recently started to refurbish **

** the lemon tree **

** the end of the pathway my cousin built **

** mini palm tree top **

** 100 year told treetop. I used to climb this thing when I was a kid **

This is my Grandma. Back in the day. Before I was born. This is my favorite picture of her. She loved that monkey. I love her. And will miss her more than anybody will ever know.

can i just say i love your photographs?!
my grandparents last Christmas moved out of the house I had grown up visiting them in. it was a house that looked smelled and was just simply THEM. I was crushed when they told me they were moving. It was so special to them and myself so for Christmas I went through the house taking pictures of every little detail in my own quirky ways. I created a photo album for them and wrote a story for each item explaining why it was important to me—mostly telling stories from my childhood. Your pictures reminded me of that gift I gave them. I remember when they first opened it they both started crying. It sits on their coffee table in their new house now, which I am growing to love—because they are in it.
Thanks for sharing your pictures, they are wonderful!
