Wordless Wednesday (with words)


This is Jodie and Grany. Aren't they hotties!


Jodie and Steve. I LOVE this picture!


5 GENERATIONS!! Jodie, Grany, Mom, Me, Little Man, & Toot


Hubby singing to Jodie. He cleans up well doesn't he!


Jodie is my Great-Grandmother that became an angle a couple of years ago. Her name wasn't actually Jodie but her Dad called her 'Baby Jo' when she was little and then switched it to 'Jodie' when she got older. She decided that's what she wanted all the grand kids and great-grand kids AND great-great-grand kids to call her so we all did. She was truly the sweetest person I have ever known. She was also really funny. About 3 years ago I asked her how she was doing and she said "Well, I can't see and I can't hear, but I feel great!" She lived a long and wonderful life. She is the one that also met the love of her life in a bar. Until she left us, Steve (my Great-Grandfather that is still with us) would pat her on the butt every night when he was walking her to bed. They were so cute together. I loved to talk to her about when she was younger. I can't even imagine seeing that much change in one life time. She was born in 1914 and became an angle in 2006. She was definitely one cool lady!

I think it's wonderful that you as well as your kids got to know your great grandmother. My great grandma lived until I was 28. What wonderful amusing stories she could tell.
I love the 5 generation picture! You looks so young and happy!

Uhh, Carrin, are you saying I look old and sad now? Kidding. But I have aged a lot over the last 4 years NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT.
