Tam Terrific and Grandmother Swarthout aka Mimi
My granddaughter, Tammie and I had a unique relationship. We talked on the telephone every Sunday and at many other times. We discussed the good times and the bad. She is a special member of our family.

Friday night of the Great Wellsville Balloon Rally weekend was so special and Tammie was a big part of it. She arrived with a ready to eat picnic, including chicken she had ordered from Stearns in Alfred. She was full of plans and ideas, including going to see the balloons lighted for the moonglow, and sometimes fireworks. She made those things more fun because of the excitement.
She gave me an angel pin to wear when I travel and is a very thoughtful person. We always compared notes, as one of her sons and I are both Libras.
-Great Aunt Bette-
We, the Burgers, find that our days are probably similar to others on this blog- we often think of Tammie, Mike, and their wonderful sons. Often it is sad with tears but sometimes like today we found ourselves smiling. And this blog is great at reminding us of some of the wonderful times with Tammie and her family.
ReplyDeleteMy mother, Bette, and I were today reminiscing about the many times when Tammie entertained the family with her sharp wit and funny impressions. She could be so funny. She would make our balloon rally parties so enjoyable.
I also remember her great laugh which reflected her joy for life.
Tammie, thinking of you.
