Monday Memory

I love how Brooke goes down memory lane on Monday's. Today I realized it would have been my Grandma Openshaw's 108th birthday and tomorrow would have been my Grandma Leffue's 98th birthday! They were both such great women in my life. My grandma O was one of the first women to graduated from ASU back then it was called something different. She loved gardening and was such a good writer, I remember she used to write our talks for church. She was also a hard worker, my grandparents owned a dairy on Dobson and Broadway and I know that was no easy job. She was quiet, & sweet and held all kinds of positions in the church.I always loved coming to Mesa to stay with her and my Grandpa. She lived to be 102 years old. My Grandma L also loved to garden, she loved camping and alot of my memories are going to Tonto creek and the cabin with her and my cousins. She too was a hard worker living through the depression. Both my Grandmothers suffered the loss o a child from appendicitis. My Grandma L wrote in her journal,"Our little Frankie died of a terrible appendicitis. Our home wasn't the same anymore". She was very out-going and loved to visit. She loved children and would help the little immigrant children in the neighborhood with their homework. She died at the age of 98. Wow it makes me wonder if I will live to be 120!I love this picture,4 generations!

Tatum loved visiting her when she stayed at my sister's house. She couldn't remember my name or my sister's. But she seemed to always remember Tatum's. She would say what a cute name!
