Emma Stubbs - September 2, 2004

Then there's Emma, born on September 2, 2004.  She is just like her grandma.  She will go to church all dressed up in a pretty little dress and is ready to play ball when church is over. She is in the 4th grade and plays volleyball, softball, and basketball.

One of the things I remember about Grandma Fjordbak was her pantry.  It was like walking into a candy/cookie store.  She always had a variety to pick from and you could always take more than one.  The white candies she made had to have been pure sugar and that one you could only eat one!!  I couldn't wait for the day that Grandma provided the treats for vacation Bible school. Everyone received a bag of cookies and candy.

Whenever Grandma prayed you never opened your eyes because you just knew God was standing right there smiling at all of us.  When Grandma prayed, God listened!!

Grandma never had a Christmas tree in the house when she lived in Storm lake but she put lights on every lamp in the house and anything else she could hang them on.

After Grandma died I was helping Grandpa in the basement and he had me put all the spools of thread in a box.  Grandma had spools with maybe a piece of thread that was 2 inches long.  She was a saver. 

Dennis and I always seemed to get into trouble with Grandpa. I don't know where Dennis found the smoke bombs but we lit some and Grandpa's pigs didn't seem to like it and neither did Grandpa!!
