Harriet L. Hogg

I don't have any great stories to tell about grandma, just some of my favorite memories and things I loved about her. Grandma always did special things for Jen and I that have meant so much to me. I feel like she treated us like we were princesses. She always read books to us at bedtime. She would put powder all over us after our bath time. She made us blue milk (blue food coloring in the milk.) She always had crafts for us to do when we would visit. She and (I think grandpa helped) make...

I remember blue milk, and playing the Memory game and Uno with her. Doing crafts and helping make dinner for grandpa, walking Gretchen, and Chief later. Teasing Great Grandma Fisher about eating Tuna Noodle Casserole made with shell pasta and calling it slugs. Multiple trips to the zoo, camping in the camper van with her before Grandpa retired and they got the 5th wheel. Grandma reading to Lisa and I every night when we stayed over. Singing silly nursery rhymes or children's songs. Awesome...

I think the story about ye olde brick trick and its recent return on Gma's 80th is a great tale. I can still see the foil wrapped brick in its normal resting place next to the basement stair of the tigard house. The way she enjoyed it being gifted back to her will always be one of my favorite memories. Another endearing thing was how she always was ready for the entire family to descend upon her home and how warm it always felt, how there seemed to be room for everyone, and the plentiful...

Every time I had the chance to see Harriet she was always so full of laughter and love for her family. If I have even half the adventurousness she had I will count myself lucky!

Harriet was always light hearted and care free and adventures. She was caring and friendly and always there with her witt. She will be missed greatly.
