I added her picture above..kinda blurry..and huge...sorry!! It is a picture of a picture that hangs on the wall in my family room. My great-grandpa lived until I was 12..and I remember him very well..but that's another story..a good one.

I NEVER KNEW ANY OF MY GRANDPARENTS .. BUT I THINK IT IS THE FAMILY THAT I DID KNOW IN MY YOUTH THAT I WOULD WANT TO VISIT. MOST OF ALL .. I WOULD WANT TO HOLD AND HUG MY PRECIOUS LITTLE COUSIN, CATHERINE JANE .. WHO WAS LIKE A SISTER TO ME .. she died when she was only 14 .. (she had a ruptured appendix .. her doctor thought it was just 'nerves' from being nervous about a school report she had to make in front of the whole school .. he did not take blood tests).
i adored her and she was precious to me.

I'd like to meet my grandfather. He died when my dad was 12. I have a feeling we are kindred spirits.

I'd like to meet my great great grandfather Daniel, who came to the USA from Ireland during the great potato famine. It would be wonderful to hear of his boyhood, and then how he ended up in TN as a stone mason then farmer.

I don't know who I would have liked to met, but I would love to have my grandma back.
Grandma Joline passed on when I was 9, 21 years ago. She was the best cook. A sweet, beautiful, fiesty lady.
She loved to shop. My mom tells me all the time that I shop like my grandma. No one in the family can keep up wtih me
and no one could keep up with grandma back then. We could spend entire day shopping, lunching and talking without batting an eye.
I would love to be able to go shopping and having grandma teach me all her secrets in the kitchen.
