This is my brother, my Grandma and me. I am guessing I am about 1 in the picture.
This picture was taken while we were on some boat. Again I think I am about 1 at the time of this picture. Notice the thumb sucking. Most pictures I am in through age 6 have me sucking my thumb. I love this picture of the two of us. When I graduated from high school my parents bought a page in the yearbook for pictures of me and to say how proud they were of me. This is what my Grandma wrote and this is why I loved her so much.
My favorite granddaughters who give me great joy: Caroline, Jill and little Susan. Caroline, you made us so happy when you came along. Do you remember feeding the ducks at the Bowen's Lake? Sticking your fingers through the fence and getting bit? The pony rides at the zoo? Swimming at Hillcrest? Barry Manilow? Somehow the first child is always special. You are the first daughter of my first daughter. You are special. --Grandma Alice
(on a side note: the fence I stuck my fingers through and got bit was Lynilu's.)
