Grandmother Halleran

This is a photo of my mother ,cousin and Grandmother. It was taken at the family home in St. Vincents,Newfoundland,Canada where Mom grew up. The other photo of the hooked rug was a rug that I hooked of Grandmother carrying water. It was a gift for my Uncle Joe. I don't remember a lot about my grandmother . She passed away when I was a baby.The story that Mom told was that Grandmother was taking care of me one morning. She was in town and my mother went out shopping.After Mom got back Grandmother became ill and passed away later that day. Mom told me that my grandmother loved to have fun and was an easygoing person. She always talked about the wonderful gardens that she planted  and growing up with her brothers and sisters. I do remember my grandfather .I often spent time around the bay with my Aunt and cousins.My Aunt cared for Grandfather and I remember that he loved  his pipe ........Lots of wonderful memories ,playing outside,cubby house, and going down to the shop and walking to church on Sundays with my cousins......A beautiful place where people go to watch the whales summertime...I always manage to visit each summer and I have fond memories of St. Vincents.........
