My Grandma Grape(Gray)

Ok so today is a sad day. My sweet little Grandma died today. It is also her birthday. My grandma has been sick for a long time now, so we knew it was only a matter of time, but I am still going to miss her so much. This is the last time I saw my grandma. We went to visit and let her meet Sammie. We sang for her at the nursing home. My grandma loved music! She loved to dance and listen to music. Every year at Thanksgiving when I was a kid we would pack all of my dad's P.A. equipment and take it to Vernal so that we could put on a show for Grandma.

When I think of my Grandma I think of how I used to call her Grandma Grape when I was little. I actually thought that was her name! I didn't know it was actually Gray till I got older. I also remember her sitting in her yellow kitchen drinking tea and doing her cross word puzzles. She loved to do cross word puzzles and play tivial pursuit! She had a great memory and would kick everyone's butt!

I also remember that grandma loved to do the laundry. She would wash the clothes and then go hang them on the line out back. She also loved cloudy skies. Nothing made her more happy than a nice cloudy day. She also loved to people watch out her front window while she washed the dishes. I also remember that Grandma made the best food. It didn't matter what she made, it always tasted soo good. I loved it when she would make breakfast for me. She would always go all out. She would make french toast, bacon, and eggs. She made sure you left that table with a way full tummy!

My favorite memory of my grandma has got to be when Jeremy and Gabe decided to cook a quail in grandma's kitchen at 10:00 at night. They made this smelly marinade to go on it and it stunk uo the whole house. Grandma was already alseep when they started cooking it. The nasty smell woke up grandma and when she saw that they had messed up her nice, clean kitchen she was more mad than I have ever seen her. She stormed into the kitchen with her hair all crazy from sleep and yelled, "What in the Sam Hell do you think you are doin? You better clean up this mess of I'll tan you're hides!" The best part was that the rest of us were watching and trying so hard not to laugh! We knew that if we laughed then grandma would get after us next. After grandma went back to bed the rest of us laughed till we cried. I love my grandma and I will miss her dearly. I am sad that my kids will not get to know her like I did.
