Women’s Month 22: Who's the Queen of YOUR Kingdom?

My Queen is my Grandma!!! ❤️

The Queeen in my Kingdom I would have to say is my Great Grandmother. I never knew any of my grandmothers as they passed either before I was born or when I was only 18 months old. My great grandmother was the type that wanted the whole family at her home for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. She would provide all of the food and cook it herself. She put on quite a spread during those holiday's. She cooked, we had to clean up. You couldn't even get close to the kitchen when she was cooking, she would kick you out. But when it was time to clean up, you had better be in there doing those dishes.

For Easter, she would make this beautiful lamb shaped cake, but nobody would eat it. Said it was too pretty to eat.

She paid for all of those meals by playing bingo all the time. She loved her bingo. I stayed with her for a week one time and we went to the bingo hall and played. We were only allowed to play one card each. It was those type of cards that had a slide over the number cover. I was one number away from a blackout when someone called out "BINGO." Grandma said I wouldn't have been able to claim it anyway since I was too young. She could have claimed it though and kept it.

During my visit with her, we made a strawberry/rhubarb pie. We went out in her backyard and picked the rhubarb ourselves. I had such a wonderful week visiting with her. Unfortunately, she passed not long after that.

Queens in my life are my Mom, my daughter and my sister. All strong, smart, lovely women who I love to spend time with 💖

The Queen of my kingdom is going to be Jelly Queen because I don't know maybe because she is Short like me but most of all she gives me a good challenge thank you Jelly Queen but my mom will always be my number one queen

The Queen of my Kingdom is Me!! 😁😁😍😄
