Taking time to get to know each other...

I started out wanting to blog another recipe from my Grandma. I took the lid off the big container my parents stored her cookbooks and a few other books after she passed away. I picked up one of the books and began to page through it, reading her remarks, seeing her corrections, yes, she had been a schoolteacher! Tucked into the pages are many newspaper clippings, cards from her children, newsletters from church. All of a sudden, I really miss my Grandma. I wish I could talk to her. I wish I could ask her advice, or to tell me stories of her life. All of a sudden, I wish I had taken more time to get to know her...
