Family Memories

There have been A LOT of response of stories & memories that have been shared by the aunts & uncles of the family about memories of G'pa & G'ma Barton . . . so I am planning on sharing a few fun memories at a time. And hopefully little by little I'll get better at formating and adding things so that they are easily stored and read. :-) If you have any memories that you want to share -- email me!

The first of memories is from Aunt Pam, G'ma & G'pa's daughter. These are a few funny sayings that G'pa would have and would constantly say:

-When he didn't want to do something he would say, "I can't do that, I just had my shoelaces pressed".

-Every time we passed a grave yard he would say,"People are dying to get in there" I would just roll my eyes and say to myself, not again.

-He called everyone, "Guggenheimer" and squeezed their knee until they either laughed or died trying to get away. He loved babies. He would wake them up whenever he felt like, play with them and then let you calm them down when they were crying.
