I was the first grandchild. Of course I was the chosen one, one and only, my grandparents favorite. yes. I am not afraid to say it. I was with my gramparents most of my life growing up.
My Grandparents house was the heart of all the gatherings of holidays.
My grandparents house was where I learned how to take care of animals, learned how to saddle and ride a horse.
I learned how to drive in the field, I learned how to drive manual stick shift before automatic. "If you can not drive stick you should not be driving", that is what I heard from both my grandparents. I went for my test at the age of 19. I was not in a rush as most teenagers are.
I am now 45 years old.
I miss my Grandmother every day.
