“Grandma Louise Aldrich-Stanley born 1881” TODAY
How could we forget… GRANDMA Lulu” – the grand-children always have a way to shorten the “GRANDMAS” name – – to something simple and easy for them to say. So… with “Grandma Lulu” – – we also have … “Grandma GoGo” – – and everybody knew exactly who the Grand-children were referring to… as they were learning to talk and connect to the different adults.
This is “Grandma Lulu” – and she is holding our brand new baby “AL” – and we were then … living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Have a quick guess “Grandma Lulu” would be “82” years old. She did like to travel by “Greyhound Bus” – – and whenever there was a newborn in the FAMILY – – she always wanted to be there to HELP!
So… this trip by “BUS” was a long one – – – coming from Saint Louis, Missouri – – – I just had to ask her, “WHY Travel… by BUS?” HER answer left me really “thinking” – because her answer was, “I just LOVE to talk to lots of people and when you are traveling by BUS – – you have more opportunity to meet people and learn about things – – that you never knew before!”
This … was very HARD for me to believe – – as all 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 her – 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! – – – – The above FAMILY get- to gather – – and just weeks before “BABY AL” was to arrive!
This next PHOTO is – – just a few weeks later, Grandma Lulu – with Grandsons… Lee Jr., and new baby AL!
