Although, as a "southern Fitz" we only came to Grandma and Grandpa's house once or twice a year, there were so many special memories.

I am not an eloquent writer, like my father and twin, but instead, write in fragments and lists, as a doctor should. Sooooooo, here are a few lovely memories:

• Fruit loops under the pillow, even after we brushed our teeth (yes my mom was cringing inside)
• The Big Loader track and construction vehicles with those black balls that would change the cars by slipping under the ones balancing. By the way, I have tried to find that for my boys, no longer made by Tomy, and can start as high as $150 on ebay for used old school ones!
• Weevils in the old cereal
• The laundry chute and hide and seek
• The smell of the upstairs bathroom
• Wearing Grandma's high heels (Michael included!!!) and trying on her costume jewelry
• See's candy (only one piece and praying it did not have nuts, ESPECIALLY walnuts)
• Family portraits with Uncle Tim directing
• The smell of jasmine
• Little Bunny Foo Foo and that piano in the playhouse.
• That HUGE martini glass
• That HUGE lock in Grandpa's office
• Picking out 1-2 mums to take home with us each Thanksgiving
• The hammock in the backyard and playing there, thinking how HUGE it was.
• Seeing Uncle TIm and my Dad hang Christmas lights with Grandpa and seeing Michael get old enough to start helping
• Cousin fun, and wishing we could live as close to Grandma and Grandpa as they did.
• Colleen and Tisha's longass hair and when they were FINALLY aloud to cut it.
• Brian's patch for his amblyopia (which of course I had no idea what that was then!)
• Much much more, but I have to put my boys to bed!

Love you all!
