Grandma Brugger

My girls loved their Grandma Brugger when they were little.  Grandma's house was their favorite place to go.  When Carianne was two months old we moved to a housing area called Live Oak that was only 3 miles away from my parents.  We were over there almost every day for at least a little while - especially since the Church was only a block from my parents.  If you think about it, in those days Sunday was Sunday School and Sacrament meeting - two separate meetings.  Then on Tuesday was Relief Society during the day.  Wednesday was YM/YW and Thursday afternoon was Primary.  We were at Church almost every day anyway.  But our girls loved just being at Grandma's.  When my mom was well - which was quite often when the girls were little - she was one of the best grandmothers in the world.  She was always a good grandmother but unfortunately in later years her illness and medications started to slowly take their toll.  I wish I lived closer to my grandchildren.  My daughters' were truly blessed to have their grandparents so close and such a good influence in their lives.
