Your grandmother sounds adorable! My grandma was cute too.
After Cash died, his kids found a notebook containing tons of songs that he was writing and didn’t get to record. He was continually writing music. They took those songs and recorded them, so sweet.
He said "How old Cary Grant".
Mr Grant replied "Old Cary Grant fine. How you?"

My dad only got an orange for Christmas. One year my uncle got a whistle and he got punished for blowing it! The good old days weren’t always so good.
My dad would always say that God helps those who help themselves. My sarcastic brother would respond with, “Well, then why do I need God?” Daddy would just shake his head and tell him, “God is always there for you, but He wants you to do your best.”
Years later my brother told my dad that God helps people who don’t help themselves. My dad said, “Yes, sometimes He does.” Lord knows that my brother was like a cat with 9 lives. Someone must’ve been looking out for him.
I miss my dad too, daughter. He was a kind soul.
He also frequently told me “one thing I’ve learned, you come into this world using diapers, and if you live long enough, you leave this world using diapers”
And his all time great—he often related how poor his family was when he was growing up during the Great Depression. He’d say “we were so poor I only got one thing for Christmas, a pair of overalls with a hole cut in the pocket. That way I got something to wear and something to play with”🤭🤗
I sure miss him….

Thanks for the laugh .
I truly hope you are better soon . 🫂
I agree with ITRR. I am sure that your dogs loved double dipping!
I will keep you in my prayers. Laughing is good for the soul. I’m so glad that you had a good laugh.
You made me laugh talking about socks matching. My youngest daughter would not match her socks on purpose! It was some silly trend going on.
It drove my mother nuts because she was a perfectionist and very fashionable even in her older years. I could have cared less if her socks didn’t match! LOL
I have to say, I bet your dogs didn't argue one bit about double kibble. Mine will try to tell my hubby that they haven't been fed, 5 minutes after I feed them. Sneaky big buggers.
I got a good laugh from your story.
I hadn’t heard the dynamite one. Funny!
Nelson,
So interesting how your dad reacted to the paintings, isn’t it?
My father was definitely a character.
Have you heard this one from your granny? If my grandma was really upset with someone she would say. “He isn’t worth the powder to blow him to hell!”
I love so many things that Oscar Wilde said!
Hey, your father sounds like he had spunk! My mom’s dad was that way. I adored my grandfather! He was larger than life to me when I was a kid. The man never stopped. The only time he rested was when he was watching a baseball game, a western or Lawrence Welk.

My grandma and mom said that too! That was a very common expression back then.
My granny used to say about lazy people, "she just runs around like a head with her chicken cut off." (For those that have never seen a chicken decapitated, the head is the only part of that chicken that doesn't go berserk.)
i still use this saying when I am overly busy. Not the same context as granny but, reminds me of her every time.
