Memories of Grandma Pace

I was in the temple this morning and every time I go I think of my sweet Grandma Pace. It is my mom's mom - and for those of you who know my mom, I think she is the best! So that makes my grandma one of the best! She made for me a part of my temple clothing so everytime I go it brings back so many memories and it makes me really happy to remember her. Some of my best memories of her are...

Butterscotch candies
Almonds
The big green car
Sunday roasts for dinner at her house...with some sort of salad - which I am convinced she made with whatever she was wanting to use up before the next shopping trip.
*shredded carrots with mayo, raisins and marshmallows
*a lettuce leaf with cottage cheese and usually a pineapple ring (sometimes a canned peach or pear) And I could never forget the paprika or maraschino cherry
*pineapple tidbits, marshmallows and miracle whip
Her being at home after school while mom was teaching
walking to the bus stop to go to the temple
Her white hair
canning fruit, vegetables and making fruit leathers
All the trips to the cabin - especially the one she got ran over by a snowmobile
Putting her in the toboggan and pulling her by snowmobile 2 miles into the cabin - she was 80
She always had a dust cloth close by - loved to be cleaning
Being scolded by her a time or two!
Her not wanting to sleep with me when she visited - I was not good at sharing the bed!

She was a wonderful grandma! We spent a lot of time with her! She passed away a few weeks before Ashlynn was born.

I will try to find a picture of her to upload!
