My grandmother and grandfather lived in the same town I did growing up. We got to see them often, which was great. The strange thing is though, I don't have a ton of memories of my grandmother when I was really young. The stranger thing is that she lived with us in the summers to take care of me while my mother worked long hours on the farm. I don't remember a lot of the interactions I had with her, but I do remember her presence. DO remember her watching General Hospital though.
One thing I will never forget are her animal hotcakes. This is what she made for breakfast when you spent the night at her house. The fun part was guessing what animal it was that she put on your plate. I'm not entirely sure she knew but we had fun imagining which they were. That was one of the best parts of spending the night at her house.
I should make some animal hotcakes.
