Last night I found a photo of my Grandma Sylvia Rose:) I looked at it for so long. While I was doing this songs came on the radio that were our songs from when I was little. Than today I had the feeling to type her name into the Internet. YIPEE!!! They have a special collection of her works at the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU in the L Tom Perry section. There are tons of poems, songs, plays, history, journals-- all by her:) I am trying to add the link here but it won't work.
It is collection MSS 1495. Here is the link to try from...

I called BYU they told me I can go down for a day and view the entire collection. They said it would take atleast a day. When I was young I use to write all the time, entering contests, loving writing. I think I may take it up again. My grandma was a marvel. She was the most creative person I have ever known. What talent. She and my grandpa were so in love and had the most fun parties for their friends. One was an upside down party and they put furniture on the ceiling. He would buy her two Christmas trees and take branches off one to make a perfect one to decorate. She built a cabin in Island Park. She served in YW for years in the Parley Stake and I meet people who adored her. I can't wait to go see what BYU has:) I guess when she died BYU asked my grandpa if he would donate her entire works. He must have said yes. I'm so glad. One of the memories I love is when I would go with Grandma and Mom to shop at ZCMI. They would get me a hot dog with an orange bang. We would also stop by neighbor hood bakery or glause bakery and get a cup cake.
