Well, it's not going to be too hot today, but look out this weekend! Meanwhile, my grandmother is wearing a jacket and wool socks. Not that I'm jealous - I'm always this green! Anyway, here's another story:
Her mother was an amazing woman too. She grew up in Des Moines, Iowa in poverty. She married a man who abused her. It got so bad that she packed up all her belongings in a trunk (we still have the trunk) and moved out west. We have no idea if she divorced him or if she even told him she left. This was in approximately 1917. There were no laws protecting women, so she did what she could to survive. Pretty gutsy! Then she met and married my grandfather out here in Idaho. The rest is history.
