My Mentor

Ever since I was little I had a special connection with my Grandma (Julia Kuhn).  She was the one that has inspired me to sew, cook, crochet and all the things I find myself doing and enjoying.

She was a wonderful cook, and had her own catering business in her younger years.  She made clothes for all of us sisters.  We would go to Fashion Fabrics or the Yardstick, and pick out fabric which she would whip into beautiful dresses with her Singer Sewing Machine.  I was always so impressed with what she could do.  When we would visit her she was always crocheting another afghan.  She made one for everyone of her grandchildren (at least 28). 

Christmas time was a wonderful memory.  Cookies Galore . .   she made so may varieties she was amazing, she rarely used a recipe. 

Grandma had arthritis in her knees, but that didn't stop her for doing things that needed to be done.  Something I find myself doing is when I wipe down the floors I can do it just like her . . bending down without bending my knees.  I remember her having beautiful nails, always polished and manicured.  Grandma had a wonderful sense of humor. . . she loved to laugh and always fun to be around.  She loved to listen to Opera and
Classical music, and traveled with our family on many road trips.  It was always so much fun. 

These are just a few things I remember . .. . SHE WAS MY MENTOR!!
