Babies, babies, babies.

These pictures a a hoot. What a prolific bunch. Darlene Peterson Grim is holding the baby. Goldie Grim Pirnie is sitting on the step holding her twins, Keith and Kenneth Pirnie, dressed in the dark rompers. Betty Ritz Wagner(oldest grandhild and raised by Grandma and Grandpa, is sitting on the top step holding a baby. I am sitting to her right, and Crystal Oxford is next to me. Brenda Oxford is in front of Crystal. Clifford Pirnie is the older boy sitting in front, and I believe the youngster between him and Brenda is Terry Oxford???. Lynnie is in the hat, on Betty's left, and the babies are Marilyn, Karolyn and Roger Grim, and Jacki Bailey. I would like to be more specific on the babies, but can't. That's why we all should write names on the back of photos, lol.

This brick house was north of Weissert, and Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Jack lived there before they moved to the home place between Berwyn and Ansley. This is the house where Jacki was sitting in a high chair eating noodles. She cleaned her plate, and politely said, "More noodles please" She was ignored. She politely said "more noodles please" a little louder. Ignored again, she pounded her spoon on the high chair tray and demanded, "NOODLES, NOODLES, NOODLES!!"

Grandma reveled in having all her kids and grandkids home, and Oh, the food. Chicken and noodles, turkey and dressing and all manner of wonderful dishes. Her custard pie could not be beat. I have come close to re-creating it, but not quite. You were a lucky child when you got to spend a few days with Grandma. I think of her and Mom each and every day.
