Visit with Great Grandma
January 15, 2006 8:47 pm* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 750 *Today Zoe had her first visit with Great Grandma Oldenburg (my grandma) and she was great, Zoe that is. Kris and I took her over to my parents house for an early Sunday supper. We had a great time and got to visit Great Grandma. I don’t get to see my grandma much anymore, mostly my doing I guess. It was really cool to see my grandma holding my daughter.
My grandma and grandpa were the only ones who lived in Arizona when I came out from Connecticut to go to the U of A in 1987 and they basically took care of me while I was out here. Heck, they were the reason I came out here in the first place. My dad took me on a trip to visit them in 1984 (the first time I had ever been on a plane) and I fell in love with Arizona as soon as I got off the plane. I have since falen out of love with Satan’s Sauna and plan on divorcing from this place when I retire from the P.D. (2014, I hope) to move back East.
Anyway, grandpa died a few years ago and I miss him immensly. We were very close. Grandma is living in a guest house out with my aunt, Tina for now. So dad went and picked her up and brought her home so she could meet Zoe. Grandma was great, she held Zoe and seemed very happy to spend time with her. I honestly hope that I can meet up to my grandmothers standard as a parent and will be only dissapointed in myself if I do not.
I got some god pics, including one of 4 generations of Oldenburgs in one photo. Upload coming soon.

Aunt Tina, come get your ham!!!!
Eric,
This is your cousin. I am really enjoying your rants and your photos. I’ve downloaded quite a few pictures – I especially love the picture of the four Oldenburg generations. Does grama know you put her picture on the Internet?! She always reminds us how much she hates to have her picture taken.
I don’t know when I’ll get out to Arizona next (Satan’s Sauna? really?) but until I do, your pictures make me feel a little bit closer.
Take care and congratulations to you and your family.

OK…so grandma and grandpa were the only ones who lived in Arizona when you came out to go to the U of A? What are Tina, Celeste and I chopped liver?
