Lucky me ... a lot of the “signs” remind me of my grandma’s ;-)

Grandmas! My favorite subject!

I was blessed with two AMAZING Grandmas. My Mom was a Country Girl, my Dad was a City Slicker.

From my Mother’s Mom I learned how to sew, mend, wash laundry properly, cook, raise small livestock (chickens, goats) bake bread and grow vegetables.

From my Father’s Mom, I learned to have good Table Manners, how to dress up and act like a ‘Lady’ when need be (using the right FORK at the table, etc.), how to crochet and knit, to love Broadway theater (Musicals!) and classic movies and ART of all kinds, and how to grow award-winning flowers.

Both of them loved to read, so that was also a shared love between me and both of them.

(My Mom was, and still is (at 83!), a voracious reader. :)
