Goodbyes are sad :(

Nov 25, 2018 17:55

Teresa, Ron and Stephanie left this morning. :( I always hate having to say goodbye to them, they're so easygoing and happy and fun. Last night we played Scattergories..everyone is always surprised at how good I am at that game haha. Like I said "welwitschia" for a plant that starts with "w" (it's a tree that grows in the desert and can live for thousands of years. It only has two leaves its entire life!). Everyone was like "...yeah, that was my next answer" LOL. Hopefully they can come to Alaska soon, that would be fun!

After they left grandpa took us to his neighbor's house that has a chicken coop and we got some fresh eggs! Their chickens were beautiful and well taken care of. They also had quail and a nice kitty hehe. We hung out for a couple hours and then went back to grandpa's house. I think his cats are relieved they don't have to worry about a dog anymore :P




Stephanie, her dog Reece, Ron, me, mom, grandpa, Teresa. I miss them :(


Chickens!


Yay I got to hold one!


Mom (OMG LOOK AT HER HAIR. The 80s/90s oh my :P), grandpa holding baby me, my great-grandma Elsie and Aunt Cindy


My great-great grandparents (Elsie's parents)


My great-great-great grandparents (Adolph's parents). They look..very unhappy LOL


My great-great-great grandparents (Johanna's parents)


Ruth Lundberg, my great aunt (Elsie's sister)


Alma is also one of Elsie's sisters


I love this one! Alma seemed like a nice person :)


Oscar is Elsie's brother (lots of siblings haha)


Adolph with his sons Oscar and John (who helped build the Empire State Building). I love how happy they all are!


My great-great aunt


My great-aunt Frieda owned a mannequin business (just one of the amazing things she did in her long life). Grandpa said all of Elsie's siblings except Oscar are in this picture..so John is the first person on the left, then Frieda, Elsie, Ruth, Alma..and I think grandpa said the guy next to Alma is one of their husbands. Not sure who the lady next to him is..


Grandpa with his parents, Elsie and Earl


Another of great-grandfather Earl


Jason is grandpa's half brother, and Floretta is my great-great grandmother (Earl's mom)


Aw, she looks so nice. :) I wish I knew something about her husband Benjamin Rudd Hopkins, but he died before grandpa was born, so he doesn't know anything about him


Yup, grandpa has always loved cats. :P I think the person next to him is Ronnie Ferguson, who Uncle Ron is named after. He died in a plane crash in a war I think :(


My grandparents and mom. WOW, grandma is STUNNING!! Too bad she didn't take care of herself :(


I love this one of mom!
