Martin's grandma memories

  • Every time we'd go to grandma's, Dad (Leo) would say to her "we're not sure when we'll get there, so we'll just pick up some KFC for dinner," and every time grandma would have some kind of food made, ready to go on the stove. (How did she rememeber to take the cereal out of the oven before preheating??)
  • Always a wide assortment of sweets atop the fridge. Oh how sweet a day when we could reach it!
  • Always dot-matrix printer paper in the closet for us to color on, and markers and crayons. I never did find that dot-matrix printer she evidentally had hidden away somewhere.....
  • Hundreds of domino falls! It took years till i learned that there was actually a game involving dominoes lying flat, and not on end... i never quite got into it though. :)
  • It seemed that if she wasn't cooking, she was on that couch with the magnifying glass, making a rosary.
  • And, of course:
  • Freshly-pressed 2-dollar bills in birthday cards

Hi Martin-
If those were the same dominoes as the ones we "older kids" played with then they certainly got lots of use over the years! We all thought they were just for lining up and knocking down!
