Elisabeth (Betty) Hughes, Prouty, Gulbenkian
I remember...
watching pinwheel in the living room
eating grapenuts without sugar and liking it in Florida
playing the wooden maze
race horses
buying my first perfume, sunflowers, and a pair of keds
having backup when my mom went a little nuts
sleeping over and thinking it was my mom's voice in the kitchen
breakable things
antique dolls on the piano
plants on the patio
taking the long walk to the pool
the hall of mirrors
listening to the "ribbish" fall down the shoot
being tall enough to push the button for the seventh floor
waving to the security gaurds when they buzzed us in
meeting Al before anyone else in the family
Grandpa Gulbenkian and his magic hankerchief mouse
learning to spell Gulbenkian
her laugh
her smile
her closet with all its shoes and bags
teddy bears
the painting of the house next to her bed
all of the paintings in her house
backgammon
the name plaque in her car that said it was made just for her
the garage and the mail room and the way they smelled
the apolstery on the chairs in the kitchen in florida
chocolate wafers
grapefruit halfs and grapefruit spoons
soft boiled eggs and eating them with Grandpa
cinnamon raison bread and honey butter
the bottles of pills on the kitchen table
ham for easter
german chocolate cake
christmas
cards for everything
shopping at beachwood
mcdonalds
the little mermaid at severence next to the food court
higbee bear
how proud but nervous she looked when she introduced me to Al
Al's sculptures
the softest coziest bed ever
stories about junior college and osu where she met my Grandpa Prouty
dropping me off at Bowling Green
telling me to stand up straight
don't bite my cuticles
smile
be nice to your mother she's my little girl
the fold out couch in florida
the beach
teal tercel
walking to the pool in florida
shuffleboard
brunch at the shaker club
the lotions in the bathrooms at shaker club
...and so many more...
My Grandma died on Monday. She was 80 years old.
I miss her so much.
