We wanted to stay home and play with our friends during our week off from school. But it didn't take long for Bubba to convience us we were going to have fun with her too. We played games but my favorite thing was doing those great big puzzles with a million pieces. And I loved how warm and inviting her home always felt when we got there. We may have not been her biological grandchildren but you would never know that if you talked to Bubba. She treated us just like the rest of her Grandchildren. She praised our accomplishments and always had an encouranging word, especially when it came to education. It made me happy to make her proud. It is only now as an adult that I wish we had lived closer and had been able to spend more time with her. But it didn't matter how much time had passed between visits because things just picked up where they left off and be ready because the camera was coming too. I also reget giving her a hard time when I was a teenager and not wanting to get my picture taken. I am sure she will forgive me. She is just like that. And I know the joy Uncle Jimmy speaks of, in the face or a child that has just beaten you at a game. My girls are fierce competitors and love to win. Thanks for all the fun times Bubba. We love you.<br />KimKim Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617788717890120852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920218223874768095.post-87410898530725520082009-11-01T02:26:56.962-05:002009-11-01T02:26:56.962-05:00love this post.

One of my favorite memories of the time she and Sue lived in Nashville was playing Uno at their apartment after she cooked me dinner (i'll post about her cooking another time) and we watched "who wants to be a millionaire" which was the hot show du jour in the mid-90s. Anyway, she couldn't tell the difference between green and blue cards anymore by then, so we wrote a "B" on all the blue cards and a "G" on all the green cards. Which worked for a while except she couldn't really see the "B" and "G" either....fun times though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474043893309496379noreply@blogger.com
