Hey, m1279,
Your siggy, "Perspective is what we get when we don't get what we want" reminded me of something my grandma used to say: "If wishes were fishes we'd all live in the sea" and another fav of hers: "It's not what you want that makes you fat, it's what you get". I still haven't figured that second one out. She was a school teacher at 17, believe it or not, up in Utah. I don't really understand that because she was a pretty cold person with kids, as far as grannies go. It was funny after she died, all the cousins were kind of milling about, and it just took one of us to say, "ya know, grandma was kinda a b****"...... everyone just about busted a gut and then the stories started flowing. Nice to finally know that she didn't favor any of us, in fact she didn't like any of us, as kids or adults.
Wow, that's so interesting seeing that written. I wonder if we were laughing because my cousins are all Mormons and someone said the "B" word or because it was a relief that grandma was finally gone.
She was the "Matriarch" of the family.........now that's a scary word!
Every once in a while, I'll catch the smell of "White Shoulders" in the air......"it's GRANDMA!":scared:
Catch ya later, Alligators!
