There are a lot of adjectives I can use to describe my grandma - bubbly is just one of many.

Weird picture - I know - but today when I passed the bin FULL of it - it reminded me of my grandma... here's why...

My grandma loved to pop these things! It annoyed my grandpa - I don't know if that is why she liked it or not but it would just make her laugh - the sound or to hear my grandpa - yell "Billy!" she would just grin. I'll never forget one summer she came home with a big ole sheet of bubble wrap - "Look! meja - there are a TON to pop!" She laid it on the floor and said "Let's DANCE!" :)

Happy memories... I miss you grandma - so much. You would love my boys and they would love you too. They love popping it too!
