My Grammy is the best, she taught me how to sew a pillow case, and she probably could have taught me knitting if I had the skill for it. Grammy was always so encouraging, telling me I was such a great writer and story teller when I was little. Grammy always offered to proofread my work, all the way through college. Grammy was so sharp we would play words with friends together and I remember when I was in the hospital with my tonsillectomy she finally went easy on me, pretty sure she let me win a couple games.
Summer and Christmas spent with Grammy were always the best and will always be some of my happiest memories. All the boat rides we went on at the lake, and trips to ice cream island. Every summer Grammy would take all of us to turn in all the soda cans and bottles saved up for a year to get the recycling deposit at Hannafords.
Grammy taught us how to shuck summer corn, we would always use the corn cob holders because the corn was so hot to touch. The best part was Grammy would always make corn fritters for breakfast the day after corn on the cob.
When I was little and swimming in the lake I always was impressed how she could swim all the way out to the buoy, when I was little going down the slide and swimming to the big rock 15 feet from the dock was hard enough. Waking up in the summer Grammy always cooked breakfast and would always have out fresh cut fruit, as I got older she would always have a pot of coffee on in the morning. As kids there was the special chair at the end of the breakfast bar that my brothers and cousin all fought to sit in
There was the time she signed Corinne and I up for sailing and tennis lessons at the club and Corinne and I crashed the sailboat into the swim area because we didn't have the rudder in. I didn't want to go back I was so embarrassed but I did anyway. I will always think of Grammy when I see a Wednesday night regatta.
Christmas mornings at the lake and the traditional sausage ring with eggs Grammy always made. She would always get me packers stuff for Christmas and I love that. Christmas and summer won't be the same but I am happy to carry on the traditions and things I learned from Grams.
I love you always Grams.
Your grandson Harrison.
