Remember Whensday No. 6 - Grandparents

These are Karl's fraternal grandparents, Alma and Harold. Both of the photos are dated 1928.

I never got to meet Karl's grandfather since he passed away long before I came into the family. I only know him through some of the wonderful photographs he took.

Grandma was a special person. When I first met her, she was in her early 90's still living in her own house by herself with a wonderful garden. I loved going to San Diego to spend time with her. I always came home with different cuttings of her orchids and cacti. That woman had a huge green thumb. I still have a few cactus plants that are from her garden.

Grandma passed away in January 2007 just one week after her 100th birthday!
