Thanks also for including this post in your Marvelous Mondays!<br /><br />Kris--I used to ask my grandmother for advice when I bought this house. My grandparents came for a visit, and my grandmother and I visited the Desert Botanical Garden. We both fell in love with a blooming sweet acacia tree, and I bought some seeds there. The tree is alive and well today, and whenever I look at it, I think of her.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-44100613378973100932009-04-21T14:36:00.000-07:002009-04-21T14:36:00.000-07:00What a wonderful post.

I do like flowers myself and plan to have a very nice garden. I love emailing my Grandma and asking her flower and plant questions, such as how to plant them, when to dig them up, etc. I think she secretly looks forward to them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182023445485838169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-28895053815421685072009-04-19T21:33:00.000-07:002009-04-19T21:33:00.000-07:00Cathy- What a great story!

I am putting it on my Marvelous Mondays post. :D<br /><br />I got Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever when I was young and this simple word book fueled a love of words, reading, and imagination, as I would create my own stories using the pictures in the book and learned how to spell every word in that book in a short time. I loved the creativity I experienced with it. The book that never told the same story twice.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-15087372218611890192009-04-18T20:02:00.000-07:002009-04-18T20:02:00.000-07:00Kathy--the story is simple.

Don't ask me why, but as soon as I started talking, I started calling her "Butchie". She had never had a nickname and absolutely loved being called "Butchie" or "Butch". Go figure! <br /><br />Dorte--now we know who started you on your "life of crime"!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-34028765955306667122009-04-18T12:33:00.000-07:002009-04-18T12:33:00.000-07:00Wonderful post, and wonderful what grandmothers pa...Wonderful post, and wonderful what grandmothers pass on to their grandchildren. <br />My grandmother (whom I loved very much) gave me my first crime novel, - and what happened; now I own more than 500.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-79873758315016853072009-04-18T06:54:00.000-07:002009-04-18T06:54:00.000-07:00What a beautiful story!
