“Happy Birthday Grandma Lulu”

     “Remembering Great Grandma Aldrich – Stanley”

        “Grandma Louise Aldrich-Stanley born 1881”

How could we forget,   “GRANDMA Lulu” –   the grand-children always have a way to shorten their  “GRANDMAS”  name,   to something  short,  simple and easy for them to say.  So,  with  “Grandma Lulu” we also have, a “Grandma GoGo”  and everybody knew exactly,  who  and which “Grandma”  the  Grand-children  were referring to,  as they were learning to talk  and connect to the different adults.

GM Lulu with Al 001 This is “Grandma Lulu”  and she is holding our brand new baby “AL”   and we were, back then,  living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Have a quick guess “Grandma Lulu” would be “138” years old,  today. She did like to travel by “Greyhound Bus”  travelling to one son or daughter’s home to another,  and when ever there was a “newborn”  in the FAMILY ,  she would  always want,  to be there  just to HELP!

So,  this trip by “BUS” was a long one,  coming from Saint Louis, Missouri area, to Florida, so-  I  just had to ask her,  “WHY  travel by BUS?”  and HER  answer left me  really “thinking” – because her answer was, “I just LOVE   to talk to lots of people and when you are travelling by BUS,  you have more opportunity to meet  more people and learn more information  about things,  that you never knew before!” Lee & Al 001

This,  was very  HARD for me to believe ,  as all of  the years that I knew her, she was very “HARD of HEARING”   and,  whenever I would be talking to her,  I had to talk so LOUD,  that  usually  everyone,  but “Lulu”  heard and knew what I said.  BUT, let me whisper   something to someone,  not wanting  her to hear, you guessed right,  she heard every word!   This next  all  FAMILY get-to-gather  was  just weeks before  “BABY AL”     was to arrive!

This  last PHOTO is   just a  couple of weeks later,   “Grandma Lulu” with  both “Grandsons”  Lee Jr., and our  new baby,  “AL!”Grandmababy 001
