A Visit To Grandma

By Uncle Hans

Renee and I recently stopped in on Grandma for a visit............

.....we took her this bookcase, which was in her condo.  This was from the one-room schoolhouse she attended as a child.  Rex will remember the school. It was on the crossroad corner about a mile from the farm.  He and I once attended there with Jim for a day or two........

....we also took her some different "summer" clothes.  You will be happy to know that she is gradually moving out of her suitcase and into the assisted living place...........

Neil and Kathy have been busy moving things a little at a time to make the place more homey.  This is the "Last Supper" picture she once crocheted.  It took two years.........

............she commissioned a local artist in Stockton to paint these pictures.  They depict the 23rd Psalm.......

....we took her an old photo albums from the 40's and she took us on a "tour".  Very interesting........

.....the highlight, however, was placing the candle holder "Whatizit" in her display case.  She did not know who owned it, but added to the mystery by remembering that "there were two of them, a matched set"  Where and when will the other one surface?
  Only "the Shadow" knows..........
