MACY LEAD THE PARADE!!!

the other day mike said “we didn’t grant one of your mom’s wishes”, i said “what was that?”…he said “she wanted macy to lead the parade!!!”

i was telling steph and my moms bible study ladies this story today and we laughed, it was good recalling what she was like, we enjoyed talking about her, and one of them said “i love coming here, but it is just not the same without your mom”…i know but we like connecting with you ladies… because you were the ones she loved so much in her last years, the ones that loved her so much and cared so much about her:)

so here is the story:

Spending the night with two Vernas @ Uncle Jim’s.
Converstion around dessert:
Verna E: I want something sweet and creamy.

Verna V: How about some blueberries with sugar on them.

Verna E: Sounds good to me.

So Verna V. brings out a small bowl of blueberries and starts to sprinkle sugar on them.

Verna E: Don’t stop, put some more on them.

Verna V: Well I didn’t think you needed that much.

Verna E: Well I’ve lived this long, so I don’t think a little extra sugar will hurt me.

Mike V: She doesn’t want you to get to fat.

Verna E: OK, I guess I don’t want to work my grandsons too hard carrying my casket and as Macy walks by and gives her that begging look, she continues with,Oh and I want to tie a red flag onto Macy’s collar and let her lead the parade.

yep that was my mom!

and here is a pic of her sneaking macy food, like she always would! sitting at the table where this conversation happened:)
