The Other GGBG

My Grandma confessed to me that when she saw the title of one of my recent blog posts, GGBG, she thought it was going to be a dedication to her: Great-Grandma Beverly Gennrich

Well Grandma, this one is for you!  First of all, thank you for being one of my biggest fans of our family blog.  It's fun sharing our photos and stories with you and Grandpa and I am so proud of you for being about to pull up the site on your own computer.  I remember when you didn't even know what a mouse was and kept trying to pet it!  You were the one that got me hooked on garage sales.  Remember when I slept over at your place during the summers when I helped you and Texie cater and you and I would go on those wild goose chases for the garage sales?

Here are a few other things that Great-Grandma Gennrich said and did this Memorial Day weekend that I will remember forever:

Megan was giving kisses to everyone and everytime we brought her give Great-Grandma kisses she would put her tongue out - almost to lick her cheek.  Great-Grandma said, "It's because I'm old and well-seasoned.  I must taste good!"

Playing 500, Great-Grandma raised her partner Brian's bid from 7 Hearts to 8 Hearts.  She got the giggles as she was picking up the blinds because she couldn't believe she raised him with only having a single heart in her hand!  One of her silliest 500 moves ever!

Lastly, while we were all playing Megan's game of "try on my sunglasses" (you know, the light pink ones with the fake diamonds all the way around the rims), it was finally Great-Grandma's time to try them on.  She put them on and immediately exclaimed, "Look at me!  I am Lady Gaga!"  I am just impressed that she knew who Lady Gaga was - I guess that's what you get when you watch American Idol!

Grandma, we love you!  Thanks for being YOU!
