Trip to Richland

What a wonderful trip last weekend to Richland, WA! We got to see my beloved Grandma Fran. She is such a wonderful woman, strong in the Lord, witty and sharp in humor, strong in spirit, and survived raising three boys!! The first two were 15 months apart, and the 2nd and 3rd were 12 monts apart. Courage! She is dearly loved by many, and very very special to me. Some of my favoite memories of her are growing up and coming to visit her, looking for agates in her gravel driveway, her road trips to Linfield College each year with Loreen to spoil me for a weekend, her support of my travel, her visit out to Boston to see me graduate with my Masters degree.....I could go on...anyways, I love her.

These two were inseperable....

Ella loved to shake Granny's pills like little rattles. Ok, and put the bottles in her mouth, as she likes to do with everything right now... Ella and my Dad.... Granny getting her toes painted BRIGHT berry red. She was a trooper and let me pick the color.

Cousin Sarah got a lot of laughs from Ella, and this is a funny mix of a yawn/laugh. She had so much fun!
