This was Granny, my dad's mom. From my broken-family perspective as a child, her home and lifestyle epitomized what a home *should* be like, in my mind anyway. :) Things are/were far from perfect, but when you're little you don't see all that. <br /><br />Her place is where I first learned that carrots grow in the ground (and TASTE so good!), that you could actually kill and eat chickens, how to gather eggs, and how to kill slugs (the only skill I currently don't use!). A lot of 'me' came from there. I will be sad to see strangers living there..EllaJachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937838823211562533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-1863521907976008872011-06-04T13:11:27.048-06:002011-06-04T13:11:27.048-06:00That is so hard!

Is this the grandma who comes quite a bit to help and is works very hard and is very opinionated? Or is this a different grandma? She looks so sweet and frail in the picture-- just like my great-grandma. <br /> Looking at your photo, it looks like a beautiful place to grow up.sariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027291557643997827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-72548835228099156162011-05-27T20:50:56.337-06:002011-05-27T20:50:56.337-06:00I'm so sorry for you.
