Camilla's School Memory
One day in third grade, we were doing a test (or homework) when we all heard a loud BANG. We look over and Mrs.Parker (our teacher) was sprawled out on the floor. We thought she was crying but she got up so our expressions and laughed harder then ever. Soon we were in a laughing fit. She had just tripped over a cord trying to get something to the front of her room. She had practically ran so she tripped over the cord. It was pretty funny.

My grandparents
I only remember two of my grandparents: Grandpa Dunn and Grandma Thomas.
I remember when Grandpa Dunn was sick and Mom would go to his home to help him each day. I remember that she would take me with her and I would play there. I remember Grandpa seemed very old and frail. I remember Mom had to help him walk by standing behind him and shuffle his feet.
Grandpa Dunn always gave us silver half dollars or silver dollars for our birthdays and Christmas. For my 1st Christmas, he gave me a blue teddy bear. Mom said that is the only time she had seen him give a grandchild something besides money. I slept with "Blue Bear" until I married Brad :O)
I have a lot of memories of Grandma Thomas. We would go to see her about once a month. I remember looking for the "gingerbread" house as we drove into Goshen.Grandma always had good things to eat - cookies, jam, etc and there was always a bowl of mints on top of her T.V.
I don't remember Grandma not having a walker. She always let us play with it as long as we put it back by her when we were done.
Some of my favorite memories are from when I would stay with her during the summer. I would spend about a week at her house each summer. (While Mom, Ruth, & Stephen were at youth conference or camps.) I would take my dogs (Midnight & Generic) with me. I had an old bike there that I loved to ride. I would ride down into the fields and all around town on it. My dogs would follow me where ever I went. When I stayed with Grandma, she would always give me a little money to go buy something cool for us to eat on hot days. Sometimes she would have me pick her up a few groceries from the store and then she would let me keep the change.
When Grandma Thomas moved into the rest home, I enjoyed going to see her there. Mom would take her for a ride or to go places with us. I think Grandma appreciated the opportunity to get out and see people.
I was 18 when Grandma Thomas died. It was really hard for me because I felt so close to her. I have missed her very much. However, I know that she is still a part of my life. I have felt her close by as I have attended the temple, served my mission, and other important times in my life. I have felt all of my grandparents close by during those times. I'm grateful to know that they love me and care for me. I am also grateful to know that I will see them again.
