Way To Grandma's

Remembering those l-o-n-g  train rides in the late 1950's early 1960's; back then we had to be tagged and sit at the front of the train. We were filled with excitement, eagerness, anticipation along with a little agitation...

Look out two little nappy headed ***** girls among all those strangers...

Way to Grandma's

No one to tell us what to do, just total strangers looking and whispering to themselves, were are those little girls parents...

Way to Grandma's

We dare not take a nap, afraid we would miss something. God forbid we miss our stop just the thought gave us the heebie-jeebies...

It was a nightmare just going from one compartment of the train to another only to use the restroom back then called, if I remember called the bathroom...

Way to Grandma's

Almost there full of smiles, laughing & screaming at the same time...
Oh!! Nana, Granny, Grandma Lillian, Ninnie pronounced (knee-knee), Grannie, Big Momma... most popular - Grandma

We made it...
Way to Grandma's
