Feb. 19th, 2004 02:06 pm14 years ago today my Gramma died. I have a butter cookie tin that has a few paper towels inside that were around some of the antique tea cups she had, and it still smells like her house even after all these years. I cherish that so much, and only let myself open it once in a great while to relive being there for fear that one day the scent will be gone. She was my Taurus role model, and even though she had the misfortune to live in Lodi (yech) I will always cherish memories of making sugar cookies, having ice cream sundaes & watching the Love Boat with her way past my bedtime all those nights.
Since I can't visit her grave today, I planted 22 primroses (TOP food & drugs in Shoreline has a great sale on 4" pots if there are still any left, they were going fast) & made 4 flower arrangements for the house. It was so cathartic & peaceful, just what I needed to shake the winter blahs and share some time with her memory as Kieran napped.
