Aw. Agnes would of been uh…my Great Aunt I believe. I wasn’t really that close to her, but she was still pretty cool. Her and my Grandma both could cook lol. Her house was interesting, at least to me. I like old antique stuff. I remember going over with my grandma when I was visiting her, and there was always some sort of home-made desert of some sort. The back room or..whatever room it was, enclosed and I think it came right into the kitchen..I remember sitting on that floor and playing with farm animal figures, I used to love it! I remember listening to my grandma talk on the phone to Agnes, and I always thought it was funny how they would talk in English and then randomally and totally break off and start speaking oh Bohemian. I also remember, after my grandma moved away, her and Agnes always kept in touch with letters. So yeah, sadly I don’t keep in touch with a good majority of my family, and doing a random search for my grandma brought up this
