This week's Inchie theme is "grandmother." I decided to include a photo of my grandma, Elvira Faye. This is her as a teenager. Born in 1895, she traveled by covered wagon from Stuart, Nebraska to Sioux City, Iowa when she was six. (I always love that story; it makes me feel connected to the "wild west.") Eventually she ended up in Minnesota where much of the family still lives. My Little Grandma, as I liked to call her, was a multi-talented woman who faced many difficulties in life. She was (and is) much loved.
Wow Melissa you must be very proud of your beautiful grandmother, that's some travelling she did! I have relatives on my maternal grandfathers side in Minnesota, they moved to Canada in the early 1970s then moved over the border at some stage but sure when,
