When I was a little girl I remember my grandma would always sew Easter dresses for my sister and I with a bonnet we would also always get new shoes – patent leather I loved the shine and the way I could tap dance on the floor. Most of the time my grandma take enough cloth so both my sister and I would have the same look. My little sister was 4 years younger than I was so we certainly didn’t look like twins.
Now 45 years later when I think about that I miss my grandma who was always there for me when I needed her. She was the salt of the earth and a straight shooter –being from Texas she always had funny colorful sayings.
I remember she would always get upset if I didn’t wear an apron to cook she must have made me a dozen aprons – today I have one hung up in my kitchen and I wear it “see grandma I did hear you”…
I sure miss her.
