Notes: The following is a description of a typical breakfast at Grandma's:
"GD sat with his broad back to the kitchen stove where Granny created her magic and every morning for years I sat at his right hand, his U.S. Army cup close and full of cold, fresh milk. Always spread beneath the breakfast bounty was a clean, crisp tablecloth; this morning it was bright white with maroon and red figures on it. The tantalizing aroma from GM's biscuits, pancakes, sausage and sausage gravy has never again been experienced by this grandchild. Depending on which GD wanted for his morning repast, he would either open two biscuits or spread 3 pancakes onto his plate;
immediately would follow a most generous lathering of sausage gravy, topped with 3 'over-easy' eggs. Four sausage balls would surround the anticipated feast. Then, with the precision of a brain surgeon and the tenacity of Brahma bull rider, GD would take knife and fork and begin to cut and fold ,and cut and fold, and cut and fold his breakfast 'creation thing', until there was a 'pile' of biscuits & gravy, laced with streaks of bright yellow egg, liberally punctuated with small chunks of tasty sausage . To watch the creation and ingestion of this masterpiece on a daily basis was truly a blessing, one which I am happy to have been able to share with you, my beloved sister and all my cousins.
From June: Mom told me a story about Grandpa eating a big meal as described above once when he leaned back in his chair so that he balanced on the 2 back legs. She recalled he leaned back too far and as the chair was falling backward, he grabbed the only thing he could - the table cloth - and grandpa and the entire meal landed on the floor. Can you imagine Grandma and the kids reaction to that!
From June: All us current Grandma's know where we got our crazy deep love for our grandchildren. I see us all in grandma's picture with Stephanie. In the digging I did for pictures, I found a letter from grandma to Mom written while she was in Baltimore with Aunt Maude. (I think she must have gone to stay there for some time after Grandpa died. I was living in Baltimore at the time. In her letter she wrote that I had visited her and Maude and she and Stephanie "were still buddies."
