Growing up, my family would spend a few weeks every summer with my great grandparents, whom we called Gumbo and Danda. I have some of the fondest memories of my life at their little farm in central Texas. Some of my favorite memories included arriving there at about midnight and my grandfather being awake to make us kids root beer floats. He would always make sure my grandmother were asleep for that, though! His root beer floats were the best because he made everything from scratch. Fresh churned vanilla ice cream and freshly brewed root beer always taste the best together, either that or he would also make sarsaparilla to go with the ice cream. My Grandmother would always make a batch of pralines for us kids to munch on while we were there as well. She would send us out to play with one so that we got our sugar high's out of the way early in the day. I really do have the best family to make the best memories with! I miss them all so much!
What are some fond memories you have with your grandparents or great-grandparents?
I hope you make great memories moving forward. Don't waste a day. Don't be angry. Always remember that family is important!
Thanks for reading, and as always, have an amazing day!
