Grandma always put the love in it, this is what makes it taste best.

My grandma was very stern and not cuddly at all. I had to be so prim and proper when visiting and a bit scared of her but I loved my grandpa who would sing to me. He had a nice little garden with some pink flowers that we call London Pride.

 

[Nancy]

Trolls....lots of trolls....she said she took them to bingo with her for luck...lol.

 

[Nancy]

Oh heck Willie T. My own family had one of these for years! lol.

I think @Nancy is going to post a new game for us with name, place and occupaion.
So I thought I'd start a new one too...

As @Pearl mentioned in the older game...these boards are at least a happy place with no arguments ..a nice break after posting in the 'heavy' threads :)


At Grandma's house = a button box ...we kids were allowed to tip them out and sort into colours etc...

I can relate to that.

Grandma loved daffodils, they still shoulder their way through every spring.
It’s like a part of her is still here.

We did also. But it was girls standing on stools doing the loading and wringing. Mom did the hanging on the line.

My grandmother had one of those washing machines down in the spring house. Which was a room under the house through which a spring flowed to provide them water.

During Sunday lunches, there may have been a watermelon chilling in the spring house that we would enjoy. These were the long watermelons full of black seeds, that can no longer be found in supermarkets. The worse tasting seedless watermelons have taken over.

My grandfathers garden was full of these and turtles lol, he had his picture in the paper one year for growing a 25lb cantaloupe.

My grandma's house as it is now. Back in the forties and fifties we thought it was very 'posh'.

 

[VictoryinJesus]

Really? :)

The false teeth yes. Still remember the color of the cup they soaked in.

 

[Pearl]

A pair of very large and hideous Victorian vases and greyscale reproduction of a stag.

It is called a "pusher". It helps little kids get food on a fork.

Oh yes...I’d totally forgotten , We as kids has a “spoon and pusher” I had totally forgotten .lol

A hook and a metal hand on top of his dresser

...my grandad lost half his arm in the Boar War...so he wore a hook during the week and his metal hand (which he hated) on Sundays for church.

Interesting my grandfather had the polio as a child and wore a brace on his left leg and a special shoe that had a sole about 2 inches higher than the right too level him out.
