I was always able to remember my Grandma Ruth Pina's birthday, Dec. 7th, due the historical event that took place on this day...*phew* Much respect to all those who fought for our freedom.
My Grandma Ruth was not a woman to be messed with, though very loving. As I grew older, getting closer to my Aunt Ruthie, I learned her "hardness" was an attempt to hide a very vulnerable side. Grandma lost her battle with cancer several years ago, and I am happy that I was able to spend some of her last days with her.
*Cheers*, Grandma Ruth... thanks for making my mamma, and all my Aunts and Uncles. ~xo
Mom and Grandma at my Mom's wedding to my Dad (stepfather) 1980
Here's some ENJOYMENT. . . my dad (HolaCreeeeeeeeees) bought this Farberware Open Hearth Broiler for my mom back in the 60s. I still have it. I fired it up the other day to celebrate HolaCreeeeeeees's life - his link to this mortal coil was severed 28 years ago on the 4th.
I used to HATE this thing. . . I called it THE MACHINE. . . when I was a kid, I had to clean it. . . and I HATED IT.
I must have been the worst kid in the world, cause it's a breeze to clean as an old dad!
I agree with Kath!! :) Thanks you all for sharing!
HOLACREEEEEEEEES Dad did VERY well buying that thing! I LOVE that you use it now, in the present... kinda bad ass. (Note to self: Remember to move into Kath's home. A loft and poultry await.) (Note to self #2: Kath lives in an area where snow is present... you've lived in the desert for 20 years.)

The worlds biggest coffee cup, which has warnings not to actually drink out of it.

Completely blows me out that it's over 50 years old and still works beautifully! This little cabin smells like a million bux when it's out there spinnin' its goodness!
HolaCreeeeeeeees had a real thing for Kit Peak. . . he LOVED it! He was his happiest, those last 20 years in Tucson!
You make me think of him. . . often.
~I adore you, kid! You make my heart sing, and I'm fairly certain I'm not the only person on this forum who feels this. ;)

(super nervous and excited about rehearsal tonight... but I know I will walk away from this evenings table read with the biggest natural high, ever. ohhhhhh yeah!)
Let us know!
