One of my grandmothers died today. We called her Grandmother Orange because she had citrus plants in her yard at her home in Florida. She had been sick for awhile. She was surrounded by loved ones when she died. These are the things that will always remind me of her: citrus (of course), chex mix, roses, poinsettias, tennis, knitting, and card games. She taught me the best card game called hand and foot. We play it a lot on the Rybolt side of the family. She also gave me my first stock when I was a kid: Disney. The sale of that stock helped me to buy my first home. I love her and will miss her. Here is a picture of her with Baikal from Feb. 2006.
