Great-Grandma Franklin

When I think of my great-grandma Franklin, I think of love, family, and just a wonderful woman. She is a young 90 years old. She's experienced so much in her life, and has been all over the place. She's lived in California, Missouri, and Minnesota. She met my great-grandpa when they were young teenagers. He was in WWII, and sadly passed away around Christmas in 1986 from heart problems. She lives in western Missouri now. I only get to see her once, maybe twice a year. When you walk into her house, you automatically feel welcomed. She welcomes everyone into her house with a warm hug, and of course food. You smell her perfume, that can take you back in time, mixed with food. Anytime you are at her house, there will be peanut brittle. She always has some kind of card game going on, along with the tv on for the guys to watch their football.
