It has been 4 years today since my Grandma Baker passed away and honestly there hasn't been one day since then that I haven't wished that I could talk to her. I miss her so much that words could never express what this wonderful woman meant to me. She was a single mom of 4 boys, Joe,her next the oldest son Jack was killed in a car accident when he was 19 years old, my daddy Walt & Tommy. She worked at the Furr's grocery store as a checker. She loved absolutely everything about family....she would cook enough to feed an army and literally sometimes that is what she had show up at her house. Her home was open to anyone.
Keri and I would spend EVERY Friday night with her and we had our normally schedule...Grandma would pop popcorn (or if it was in the summer we might have watermelon) and get ready to watch "our" shows---Dallas & Falcon Crest--She would let us sleep in the bed with her and she read us wonderful books like 'Alice in Wonderland' over and over. She would tell us some of the most wonderful stories and then in the morning we always fixed pancakes. Before it got too hot Keri and I were off to the backyard to make "mud pies"....we normally would play like we were the lunch room ladies and serve all of the students our great masterpieces. By the time we were done with all of our fun it was time for Momma to come and get us. We would also go and stay at her house after school and when she would get off work she would play dominoes with us to teach us how to add. We had so much at Grandma's house. I wish that all of my kids could have experienced this woman the way I did......I know that she would have loved getting to see all of the babies. We love you Grandma and know with out a shadow of doubt that you are in Heaven having the time of your life. I can't wait to see you again!
Grandma with her boys!

What a great tribute to your grandmother. She sounds like such a wonderful lady. My nanny was that way and I have some of the most wonderful memories spent with her. Treasures!
