My Great Grandma Flo

My Great Grandma Flo is 99 years old and is in a nursing home now because of breaking her hip falling down in her home.  I always remember going over to her house when I was little going over to her home and I was step in and immediately smell chocolate chip cookies that would just melt in my mouth as soon as I took a bite. When I first step into her home I would always notice a wooden owl clock on her wall that would always go off to the hour and make a “who who” sound. Her going into the nursing home made me really sad the day that I found out, I went in there right away and noticed the smell of the nursing home of everything being sterile and clean.

We would always go for a walk when I would be in town. The paths that we took would amaze me with the views of the lake Pepin with all the boats the size of buildings on it. The sidewalks would have old cracks in them indicating how long that path way had been there. The sun would shine down onto the lake and just shimmer across it, it was such an amazing sight.

My uncle managed a restraunt that was called The Port Of Call, we would end our day there with a slushie for myself and then a glass of wine for her. Everyone there would welcome us when we walked in saying hi and sometimes even giving hugs, it put the biggest smile on my face.
