All the cousins have Grandma's prayer, "Alle Augen warten," memorized. Right, cousins? Janie? How 'bout you? Here it is with some of the lovely flowers from Grandma's funeral in April 1986. She lived to be 99.
Grandma, in her fav blue sweater, nifty cotton housedress, hairnet and sensible shoes, posed with some of her grandkids and great-grandkids, one or two of whom was behaving, in the 1970s. Front row: Richard, Sammy, Chris, unidentified cute blond girl, Danny, Tuk and Joe. Back row: Leah, Pam, Leah-Jean, Patty, Chats, JoAnne, Grandma, Darrell and Sandy.
Wearing her fav blue sweater, Grandma lined up her eight lovely daughters: Adelaide, Emma, Alverna, Grandma, Katie, Annette, Anna, Marion and Florence. Taken sometime in the 1960s.
Grandma held new granddaughter Pam in spring 1957. Your scrapblog editor hadn't developed manners yet, much less hair -- note how she was rudely yakking away on her plastic cell phone, probably calling Rewrite with some hot story.
Cousins, do any of us dress half as well for anything, much less dish-washing? Check out the fancy aprons, too, during this session in Aunt Adelaide's basement kitchen. Grandma supervised Aunts Adelaide, Mavis and Anna.
To read more about Grandma Sprick, simply search for the word "Grandma" in the little search box in the upper-left-hand corner of the blog page. One fun entry from our archives blog is this one with Grandma's 1960 calendar. It contains Grandma's taciturn one-line accounts of what she did every day in 1960. Sample from one day in January: "Went to see remains of Mrs. W."
