to grandmother's house we go.

so i went to my grandma's house to get it ready for the garage sale this weekend. (the grandma that passed away in august...my dad's mom.) i love my grandma's house! if you really knew what it looked like then you would think i was crazy, but i love it! my grandma was a major, major packrack! i love her house because there are places in her house that i have still never seen...example...i went into my grandpa's shed for the first time today ( it was always locked...until now). there's parts of rooms that i've never seen (corners and closets) because it's always been so clutterd that i've never been able to walk around. it's the greatest adventure! you find the best treasures, and because she was a packrack, i learn so much about what she experienced during that time. all of that to say that it's amazing what you can learn from cleaning someone's house out. i love my grandma. always have, always will...but after today i love her more and appreciate her more than ever. that is all...

loved reading this post...I too love those special things that tell the stories about people we love. I guess that's a lot of why I love scrapbooking and photographs. I LOVE looking through my grandparents old pictures, and I would love to be able to know all the stories behind them all! What a special thing for you to be able to learn a bit more about your grandma, even after her death.
