With Tender Memories

This week, I am dedicating my blog to the

Wonderful Women  who I call

Grandma.

These are my two Great-Grandma's on my

Dad's side of the family

I knew them. . .I loved them. . 

I learned lessons from their lives.

This is my Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Daley

Graham Little Daley and

Margaret Eva Simonds Daley

They were the parents to 14 children. . yes I said 14!

10 sons and 4 daughters.

She was an amazing woman. . very creative

Devoted to her family and to her husband.

She lived a long, long life.

I remember her very well.

This is me and her at her 85th birthday party

I was 16 years old. I cherish this picture of

My Great-Grandma Daley and the memories it evokes.

This is Great-Grandma with her four daughters.

Notice how my great-Aunts are dressed.

Mind you we are at the park. . .

They wore dresses, necklaces, and beautiful aprons.

I remember the tables being covered not with plastic

But with tables clothes, and we used "real" dishes.

Ah, how the times have changes.

Her crochet work and her quilting and sewing were

Incredibly beautiful

Hmm, I jut wonder. . .maybe I inherited her talents?

Great-Grandma Daley you taught me so much

Just by your simple goodness.

Thank you. . I am blessed to be your

Great-Granddaughter.
