Me: My Grandma Jacobsen (maybe 1981). This is my mom's mom in front of her home in Elk Horn (this was after she & my Grandpa moved off their farm in the country). I have wonderful memories of Grandma J; taking piano lessons from her weekly, eating her delicious rhubarb tapioca pudding, serving me toast with butter after school (I don't know why…but that was the best) and eating her red jello with bananas & whipped cream. She always dressed so nicely & even when she was in the nursing home she would wear a dress & have on a pretty necklace. I remember admiring the roses in her garden (the reason I love roses).
This is my mom with 6 of her kids (1961); Jim, Monte, Joan, Curt, Brent & Carol. Dad was off looking for Rod (:-/) and I wasn't born yet. I believe this was taken on July 4th after a local town's parade. I guess feeding kids snow cones is helpful with keeping them together (except for one).
Thanks to Joan for posting these pics on Facebook today. They make me smile :-)
Pictures can bring back vivid memories....I too had a grandmother that I loved dearly...she continued to teach me valuable lessons even when she was leaving her earthly home in the hospital....thanks for sharing, Jane!
