My grandparents live in Austin. The last time we saw them, Colin was a baby. So, as part of our summer plans we made a trip to Austin to see them.
Notice the white cloth on my grandpa’s arm? He’s a funny little man. Connor asked, “Why come you broke your arm?” Grandpa then explained that he keeps the cloth on his arm so his new puppy won’t scratch him. I loved visiting with them again. I have so many memories of visiting them in rural Arkansas when I was growing up. My fondest memories are of Grandma’s homemade breakfast with farm fresh eggs, that I “picked” myself, and homemade jam and biscuits. I watched my first duck hatch at their house and traveled home with 23 baby ducklings in a cardboard box. (That was a noisy ride home) I walked on a frozen pond at their house, and went fishing, shot BB guns, walked in the woods, picked plums, and ALWAYS took a swing on the tire swing! What amazing memories I have of them.
My kids enjoyed visiting with them too, but of course they were inclined to spend most of their time snuggling Grandma’s new dog, Kayla.
I never realized how much I look like my Grandma until I saw this picture. She is an amazing woman. She is so full of grace, strength, and courage! I love her and I’m so thankful for my family.
