Memories of Grandma Balholm



My Grandma Balholm passed away two weeks ago & I just wanted to write a little something about her.

These are some of my memories of her:

* She always sang the songs "Found a Peanut" & " I like the mountains, I like the daffodils....."

* She took my cousin Jill & I to the theatre to see "The Little Mermaid" for the first time.

* Talking to her about anything. We often spoke about about pretty music (I specifically remember talking about how much
we both like Celine Dion).

* Going to the float house with she & Grandpa.

* When she would tell stories about my Dad, Uncle Neil, & Aunt Theresa.

* Looking at pictures of when she was younger with her.

* Eating anything she made. Namely, the potato casserole w/ corn flakes on the top, Chex mix, & sandwiches.

* Spending Christmas day with she & Grandpa every year (Bugles & Pop Corn Bins).

* Playing the "what if" game with her.

* Being snowed in at our house when she was there.

Oh, & this picture is of my Dad, Grandma & I at my Baby shower. This was the last time I saw her. She told me about each one of her pregnancies & we compared them to how mine was going. Anyway, we had a good visit. She was such a neat lady & will be greatly missed.
