Today we celebrate the 80th birthday of my maternal Grandma Shumway!!Happy Birthday Grandma!!
As a girl in junior high, I used to take the bus home from school to Grandma's house. I would spend my afternoons with Grandma (and Grandpa too) and she'd get me a snack, help me with homework, and I'd watch her make dinner. I cherish this time I had with Grandma and Grandpa.
Each year on our birthdays growing up, Grandma gave each of the grandchildren the gift of time. We each got to choose and activity and we spent the day with Grandma. One year Grandma and I went to the old castle made from junk in Phoenix. Our adventures were always well documented - she never went anywhere without her camera. Grandma went out of her way to make each of us feel special on our big day.
However, it didn't have to be a special day for Grandma to spend hours helping with an English project, or take us on a trip to Pine, or have an overnight stay at Grandma's house. I always felt love from Grandma, no matter the occasion.

Thanks for sharing those pictures, Rachel. I stole them ;)
Loving your grandchilden builds many fond memories to store away. Just look at the fun grandma was having. (and grandpa too) And now, nothing but sweet memories do I recall everytime any one of you corresponds in any way. You are my among my most valued treasures and I value that treasure box each of you have filled.
Rachel, do you remember your birthday that Grandma and I took you and Katrina( whose birthday is just one day before yours) out to Luke airforce base for the airshow? I don't know if you and Katrina had fun had fun or not, but your Grandfather sure did.
