Grandmother's Kitchen

I wrote a composition way back when I was in college (1979.. I would have been 19).. When Mamaw was cleaning up my room after I moved out(1983 app) she found it and started reading. She was having a bad day remembering her mother and feeling a little lost. I know because she mailed the composition with a letter to my Aunt Catherine and she in turn added a letter and mailed it back. These are my words written some 9 years after my great grandmother had passed away(I was 10) at first Mamaw thought it was her kitchen til she started reading! Mamaw saved it all these years and gave it to me about 2003, I found it again yesterday. Today was Janas 2nd class This probably wasnt what Jana had in mine but Grandmothers house in Hard light well I think it is the perfect touch. The photo was taken last fall it belongs to someone else now. I used Katie Pertiets artistry damour kit the scribbles in the corner were from 79 and the outline I had drawn the room. The windows the table even the potbelly stove.
lovely story, Deb, and beautiful photo. that house is the perfect grandparent house!
 
Oh I love what you did here. The story reminds me of Sunday dinners at my grandma's house. Especially all of us standing around in the kitchen doing dishes and visiting. How I miss those days!
 
beautiful story and page. my grandparents had a space with a rounded window like the one in the photo :)
 
A treasure page. Yes, me too, I remember those Sundays. And yes - funny - grandma's living room had a rounded window too! Thank you for sharing your story.
 
Oh Deb - what a wonderful page. I love the journaling and the story behind it. fabulous page.
