Interesting and active
As a kid, "Grandma Stearns" was always quite interesting. She put in time to get to know me. I cherished sleeping at her condo, just the two of us, playing monopoly. Old clocks tick-tocked, interesting trinkets and coasters, things made by Grandpa, an aloe plant in the kitchen used to soothe grandchildren's wounds. As an adult, I remember her every time I go to Ikea. The scandinavian style and especially food are so reminiscent of her. Cookies and fondue for sure.
We were always active with her. Playing on the patio, walking to the condo pond, going to the seawall, walking the trails, going to the beach or downtown Saugatuck. I can't even remember a TV in her houses.
Great times Grandma! We will see you in heaven!
