I feel I let her down

Grandma has wanted to know the history of this house that we now live in. I know that it was built in one spot and was moved to the spot it is in now. I know it is 101 years old. I saw the name of the lady who owned the house before us on all of the paperwork, and I knew where she lived because my husband has her on his newspaper route as a customer. I kept meaning to go knock on her door and she if she wouldn't mind coming over and tell my Grandma the history. I never got around to it.

My husband was outside today putting the Christmas decorations up and I went outside to put something in the mailbox, and he was talking to a lady. it happened to be the lady who used to live here before we bought it. She grew up in this house. I told her that my Grandma had passed away, but hd wanted to know the history of the house. She told me that her daughter was putting something together on the computer and she would bring it to me when it was done.

I am grateful that she stopped by, but sad that I never did that for my Grandma.

  1. That sounds really interesting. I'd like to read what she puts together, if you wouldn't mind that is? Don't worry, Grandma knows everything now.
