Fort Worth Visit
Hi there friends. I’m writing this post from an unexpected trip to my grandparents house. My grandmother hasn’t been doing well and I wanted my children and I to see her before she decides to leave us. I was named after her and have always had a close relationship with my grandmother. We just love each other to pieces.
I love visiting their house, it looks like a museum. My aunt who passed away last year left us with many beautiful paintings.
My grandfather is a museum docent and an avid art collector. He mainly collects early Texas art. Here is a painting we discovered together at an estate sale last summer.
We had an exciting weekend here with friends and family. My sister’s boyfriend surprised her with a proposal and engagement party.
I have also been looking through some old photos during my visit. My grandmother has always been a beautiful and elegant lady. I found many pictures of her in her younger years.
(This one is her with my mother and my twin and I.)
Wasn’t she a fox?
Well, we are headed back to North Carolina tomorrow morning. I can’t wait to share with you what I was up to before I left. 😉
Your grandmother is and was absolutely stunning! I love all of those pictures too they’re beautiful. I’m glad that you and your family had a great time visiting!

Thank you so much for the sweet comment Lara. It was a special trip and will have lots of sweet memories. 🙂
I truly loved this post. My grandmother passed away in May and everything you said brought a smile to my face as I remembered her. So happy you were able to visit with your grandmother.

Thanks Ashley, grandmothers are something else. She will always have a special place in my heart. 🙂
Grandparents are precious, truly, and so are their homes, as they are vaults of memories from past lives and from ours.
Cherish your grandmother and enjoy every moment with her while she, indeed, is still in this life. Your aunt’s paintings are beautiful.
Love,
S
