    everything.  My Memere made crepes or fried bread dough for breakfast.  She treated me like a  princess no matter how old I was.  When I was 17, into the Grateful Dead (still am) she took me out shopping and bought me tie diyes and wrap skirts.  My Memere rocked!

    going out in Pop's little punt fishing. We would be out for hours cruising around the lake in search of the best flathead or bream. Pop would stop off at the huge sandhills for my sister and I to slide down a hundred times. He had loads of patience. He lived to 98.

I googled his name and found he was a popular painter during the early 1900s and people could purchase his paintings with Green Stamps. So I am sure that is how my grandparents (who had no extra money) came to have this picture!

    Another interesting family story is......

    True Grit.....it wasn't all that.  The original with John Wayne was much better...this one is slow, dialogue is difficult at times and I didn't connect with the characters.
