To say that this post brought tears to my eyes is an understatement. You see I grew up a few miles from Rensselaer, IN. My parents shoppped there for years...making the rather quick drive from Monon to Rensselaer. Our proms were held at St Joseph's College. My parents shopped at Brown's nursery and I worked for one of the Annis Brothers at his IGA in Monon. Needless to say this post evoked more memories of growing up on a farm in Indiana than you can ever imagine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart...PS enjoy your grandmother! Both my maternal and paternal grandparents were gone before I was born. You have a special bond that will not be broken. Thank you~!!!!!

I still take my parents flowers and plants up their favourites at their resting place. So lovely to read your love for your Gram. Thank you for sharing.

P.S. my favourites are Flame Lillies. The National flower of the country where I was born and spent my formative years.
