My Grandmother (Mema) passed away a few years back at the age of 96. At which time we discovered that she had saved the Valentines I had sent her over the years. Those cards have come back to me and are now part of our Valentine decor
Also discovered, a scrapbook she created during her high school and college years...with Valentines, love notes and mementos. Pre-dating those I sent her...and those of my Grandfather

Oh Mema, scandalous!
What about "last night" Mema?
Wish I knew the significance of that stick of gum

it's easy to forget our Grandmothers were "girls" before we all came along. Her suitors seem charming!
Beautiful post. Wishing you a wonderful Valentine's Day.

What a treasure and a treat. My very own Grandfather gave us each a stick of Wrigley's gum when he took us for a ride in his old Ford. We of course had to give him our gum after the ride. I think gum was something of a treat back then. It was not appropriate to chew it in public. I still remember that smell of gum and looking forward to that ride with my Grandpa.

easy to forget how little treats like a stick of gum and a ride in a truck were so special! And what was considered inappropriate...my Grandmother got in trouble in for wearing "ear bobs" (earrings) in public while she was in college. I miss her stories of growing up, her scrapbook is a treasure
Really special. What a treasure!
Oh my, your grandmother was beautiful. No doubt she had many, many suitors before the lucky man came along to steal her heart....your grandfather.
Thanks Gail, she was such a lady
What a great post! My great Aunt Bea was a lady much like your Mema. So much fun, too! Happy Valentine's Day.
