Carrol with 2 R's

Cole LOVES cars, trucks,trains
and planes....so, for Gran Mum to
let us use 2 of her "buddy passes"
to get to actually fly in a plane was
such a treat!  We hopped on
and headed to Indiana to visit
my Grandma Rhodes (and my
mom who was already there)

A walk in the clouds

Having Fun!!

Gran Mum helped Cole build a snowman
after we had only been there about 5
minutes! They had to hurry before the
snow melted!

Grandma had a smile from ear to ear...
she adored Cole and loved to
just sit and him! He had fun playing
with the toy cars and loved showing
her each one! Not everyone gets to
play cars with their GREAT GRANDMA!

Grandma Rhodes was BORN at
Westcott Place Farm and that is where
she was raised....and then raised her
children....and now (thanks to
Aunt Connie and Uncle Bob) she
 recently return there to live with
them.  She is so at home there with
a multitude of memories.  The farmhouse
is always so pretty at night...a light in
every window.

There are some things that you just
HAVE to do when you visit the farm...
you have to take a bath in the claw
foot tub.  All the babies all these years
have been bathed in this tub!

You have to slide down the
stair rail

You have to play the piano

Grandma always says
"Good Morning Sunshine"
She identifies herself as
"Carrol with 2 R's"
she loves to say
"keep your courage high and your
lipstick handy"
when she says goodbye on the phone she says
"over and out" or "signing off"
from her radio days

Grandma has A LOT of things to go through...
she always encourages you to keep a
journal...which she has done her whole
life....so, she has all of those and lots of
pictures.  I love this one of her
and Grandpa!

LOVE THIS PICTURE
