This is a very early picture of my Grandfather, Arvin Thalmann. Seeing Grandpa as a young man reminds me of story that my Grandmother, Veda told...One year my family bought a small Christmas tree for Grandma. It was about four feet tall. We created homemade decorations for the tree out of straws, ribbons, Elmers glue and glitter. We threaded the ribbon through the straws to make very elaborate prisms and stars. We then covered the straws with Elmer's glue and sprinkled them with glitter. We took the tree to Grandma's house and she put the tree on a table in front of the living room window. We asked Grandma to tell us some stories about when she was a girl.
I wish that I could remember more of what she told us. But I do remember this, she told us about how she and Grandpa met. She said that they met at church. They sat on the back row and giggled all the way through Sacrament meeting. That must have been a funny image in my mind to picture Grandma and Grandpa sitting on the back row of church and giggling because that is what I remember.
Maybe I have the story wrong or maybe some of you could add to it Please comment!
