I tell you that we have not played loud music to wake you up to help you whether your wall overnight work or if you're driving course, a dangerous if you're driving your tired, so we would help you to stay awake or if you happen to set your alarm to think with the top of the hour and some of the music that we play can be jarring who may be anointed as we do that because just now hearing that music that makes you want to bang your head against the wall made me want to bang my head against the wall that it's been just a couple of days I've been here in Wisconsin, but the days of been jammed full and I will say that someone in my life may be of any get too old to do this travel with no sleep thing and to template my schedule around every which way. Ballou said it's deftly catching up with me a little bit because I'm I know that I said on last nights show that I was feeling delirious after the long day of football prep and then being at Lambeau, then getting out of Lambeau in getting back here to do a show and I'm not looking for your sympathy, or even your empathy really, because I choose to do this, divide to be all from Monday afternoon until I get back into New Jersey back home and take care of the pets and everything until I who can finally sleep say around dinnertime on on Tuesdays I'm trying to think about it I'm try to conserve as much energy as possible and that music didn't. I don't know why that rubbed me the wrong way.
It's not your fault. The research I don't worry it's it's it's flouted and you know I bought borderline cranky.
But she'll never know what here on the show I was getting a little peek behind the curtain.
Sometimes I get a little wild and wacky with my travel schedule, but this was an important trip. A trip that I needed to make ends as I had over Wisconsin.
Not knowing when I'll be back. I've always had another trip plans and another trip planned as long as my grandma Helen was here. Of course I knew I was coming back at least once a year and now that I don't know when I'm coming back and don't know if I'll ever see her little town again. It was really critical that I get up here and then to be able to go through some of their belongings that my uncle and aunt set aside was also really special to me. As I say I found some jewelry that I was able to pack away little take back with me, but also photos hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of photos of some of them I had copies of, but I also found photos of me with my granny or my brother and I as babies that had my mom riding on the back of the photo, which of course would have meant that my mom sent her these photos as I was really amazing to see baby pictures of my brother and I stashed Ian with all of her stuff and so a lot of the magazine again but some of them I'd never seen before and they're very precious to me, and in addition to that, photos even black-and-white photos of my Grammy when she was a baby with her parents when she was a young girl a teenager before she got married after she got married and all the photos of her wedding which took place in see my uncle told me 1946 she got married in 1946 and get so scandalous. My grandmother was five years older than her husband. So I think we determined at that point Wednesday.
My grandmother was born in 22 she got married 1922 she got married in 1946 so she was 24 and her husband and my grandfather had gotten home from the service. He served in the Army and actually there their gravesite has a separate plaque that has my grandfather's name on it as well as his rank and his his dates when he served in the Army and there's a special flag there because he's a veteran. He was a veteran anyway so they waited until he got home from surveying and they got married so she would have been 24 and he would been 19 to what while never just ask about that. I didn't realize that she was five years older until I saw the dates on their headstone at the cemetery.
There a lot of things I've learned about my Grammy that I didn't know but the photos were phenomenal me again going back to when she was a baby so photos that are 100 years old and being able to see then really the progression of her life and the joy on her face how beautiful she always was even until the end.
But when her hair was not white when she had reddish hair actually had a reddish hue to it and her with her friends in the styles of the day. Even if you're on the farm. There was a photo of my grandmother on her farm in overalls. Rawls never ever ever could I have imagined my grandmother in overalls, but she was adorable. There were a few photos of her with some cow always in and only did she grow up on a farm and she raised her four children on a farm as well and so is it was just really sweet. It was it was a bit of a walk to memory Lane. There were some tears. Of course I and I was almost afraid to ask my uncle for the one photo that I really want to die at he end up telling me I could take whatever I wanted and there turned out to be some repeats, but the one photo I wanted and it is for those of you who follow me on social media all over my blog, you'll know that I shared a bunch of photos at her 100th birthday because they brought out a box that included a lot of photos that most of us had never seen, and one that I absolutely adore that I did share on twitter. I know for sure and probably on Facebook was one that was taken when she was 19 years old and I remember her telling me at her birthday party that she knew exactly what she was wearing. He was a black and white photo, but she could recall the dress that she was wearing going back to those days when she was a teenager and so that memory and talking about that in her very vividly recalling when that photo was taken on this again at her 100th birthday. She was so beautiful and she was so alive and her smile is well. It's a lot like mine. Which is funny because I've never seen that before and that I was the one that was a professionally done photo it's actually in a cardboard holder, the kind that you can fold and stands up and so I really wanted that photo and I was almost afraid to ask but I didn't and my uncle said please take it if you wanted take it. So that was that was really special and and I think because I'm such a sentimental sap and because I love photos I think I ended up filling a couple envelopes worth, though probably 200 photos to take back with me.
I will keep them all because some of them all share with my family at Christmas time and I know my brother's gonna want somebody's baby photos that will laugh at those and then there also a lot of photos of my nieces when they were younger because we sent pictures mostly me actually sent pictures to my grandmother so she could see my brothers kiddos. So yeah, I was it was rational and I got lost for about two hours in those walks to memory Lane so some smiles and laughs. Also, a lot of tears and honestly that's what this weekend has been like not the working part because I can click into work mode, but an emotional mix so many different emotions and they come in waves, and sometimes it's joy but sometimes it's grief because I still miss her so much and to that end, it was really good to be here these last couple days and I do hope to come back to Wisconsin
