I was lucky to grow up near my great grandmother, and have special memories of holidays at her home and trick-or-treating there every October. She passed on several of her interests to me. She was an avid quilter, making quilts for each of her grandchildren. She collected family recipes and published a family cookbook for us. And she also completed family genealogy, completing photo albums for each of her great-grandchildren including photos of both sides of their family histories. Most of my starts in these hobbies came from her.
