We moved to Callen Ave when I was 2 years old. Our next door neighbor is June Zanotti, who celebrated her 90th birthday last year and is still a pistol! (Just ask Bill - she can't keep her hands off him!!) June grew up with my Grandmother and June's children grew up with my father in First Ward. Daffodils grow on the hillside and yards around our houses and bloom every spring between March and April. At about 3 years old, I picked some flowers and took them next door to June who displayed them in a small vase on her kitchen windowsill. The following year, I again picked some flowers and took them to June in the early spring. She again put them in a small vase on her kitchen windowsill. This ritual continued ... year after year ... spring after spring. Handfuls of flowers. As many as I could hold. Bugs and all.
I have missed the flowers only once in the last 32 years ...
And this year Becca brought flowers to June for the very first time!Happy Spring "Great Grandma June"
We love you!
