Grandma B Thinks She Has A Great Idea

The ladies were talking about all the pictures that they had seen in Grandma Lu's photo album. It seemed like each picture either brought back a memory of theirs or a memory of a story that Grandma Lu had written.
Jo Ann said, "I remember some pictures of Marlee when she was little that were taken with Santa at Bass Pro. I don't think she liked him much, do you? I wonder if it is in here."


Bonnie said, "I'm sure it is. Here's Marlee when I took her out to eat one day. I had purposely put this necklace on my bed so she could find it. Oh she just loved it. You know what? She saw someone drop food on the floor that day. She just stared them down like, "Don't give that dirty stuff to me."
They were having such a good time looking at pictures. "Some of these are out of time sequence. I wonder what happened. Here's one of me and our brand new Whitlee Jo. Oh we had a time with Marlee for awhile. She was not liking me to hold that new baby at all!"


"I wonder where those Christmas pictures are. Oh, here they are. They did get out of sequence for some reason. This one was taken at the grocery store. It's no longer there, but hopefully someone will put a grocery store back in the building. Here's one of just Marlee. Remember Grandma Lu made us both framed pictures of this one that year. And here is a picture of you and I and Marlee. We met for lunch in Stockton that Christmas. Marlee was such a good girl, wasn't she?"



"I think the funniest Christmas picture she has is this one. See how mad Marlee is? Well, Grandma Lu called me one day and said, "I would love to see what Marlee would do with Christmas wrapping paper. If you have a box see what she will do with it. She is only two, but it should be fun." So I did just that. Oh my word, she got so mad at me! Just look at this. I wonder where she gets that temper from?" Both ladies laughed and had lots to say about that. They were about ready to quit for the day when Bonnie pointed out a picture and said, "Now why would she save that picture of me?" Of course, Jo Ann said, "Because she wanted to."

Bonnie said, "You know what we should do? We should get a couple of more albums and put all the pictures in the right order for her. I think she would just love that, don't you?"

Jo Ann said, "Oh I don't know about that. Grandma Lu doesn't like change much. As we get older we get kind of set in our ways. I don't think we should do that." Bonnie said, "Oh, she will love it. I'm going to the store tomorrow and pick some up. I'll give you a call and you can come to help me."
Jo Ann didn't answer her friend, but she was thinking she was going to be really busy doing something else when Bonnie called her to help.
