Our Beloved Grandmother

I remember our beloved grandmother Elfrieda, She came to live with us when we were young. She brought an antique table and crafted chest with her. Looked beautiful in our parent's living-room. Good to have her with us, When our parents worked and studied grandmother cared for us. She would cook and bake delicious foods, I really enjoyed that. Her ability with crafts continue to bless us. She knit me a nordic sweater and sewed me an outfit for my birthday, A beautiful sailor's sweater and pleated skirt for my birthday. When I grew up i met and married a sailor. Grandmother is such a good memory. Grandmother lived with us in a pretty room, She and mother would settle accounts monthly. She had company and we were blessed with a very kind and giving grandmother, Sewed my grade eight graduation dress and my grade thirteen graduation dress. Mother and i would select the material, MY grandmother would sew the beautiful dresses. They are such good memories, Rudi was her handsome and kind husband, our grandfather. Such good memories growing up, We were very blessed as children. Author: Gwen von Erlach Schutz
