when i write almost grandmother it takes on the connotation that Winnie almost married my grandfather, Jack Walter. however this is NOT the case. RATHER Winne was Harriet "June" Beery Walter's BEST FRIEND. they were next door neighbors on lake hickory for the length of their adult years. when i was born my Nana, June was already being treated for cancer and so she was not in town often and suffering from the side effects of radiation. so Winnie stood in ... and SHE NEVER STOPPED STANDING IN. this fall at 90 brilliant years young she made the trek down for our wedding. she was the cherry on top.
i want to be like Winnie when i GROW UP!
