What a remarkable woman!<BR/><BR/>My hubby and I are always talking about what we will do when we retire. I have the same mentality that we could do ANYTHING! I'm hoping we'll live in a house right on a beach someplace warm (probably Florida) and travel all the time.caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-11122936585494592292008-06-09T09:05:00.000-04:002008-06-09T09:05:00.000-04:00A great title, lovely post and a wonderful tribute...A great title, lovely post and a wonderful tribute to your sweet grandmother.

He came to Australia for my wedding and walked out of the plane with 10 drambuie miniatures. A character. <BR/><BR/>Your Granny was a character too. I was just sad that my kids didn't really get to know him. They met him when they were little, but have no memories.Colin Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991363859883869289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-69980958637578487032008-06-05T18:53:00.000-04:002008-06-05T18:53:00.000-04:00She sounds like an incredible woman, and a definit...She sounds like an incredible woman, and a definite inspiration.
