At the reunion at one of the cottages, Gramdma noticed a small group of ducks going by the dock. She excitedly brought me down to see. “Look, look – the ducks – so pretty, so beautiful, nice," she said. Then she turned to me with a big smile and said, “So good to eat!”
I was sitting at the table at Brig’s wedding with Grandma. She was older and although she was having a fun time, she wasn’t quite sure who was who. Brig and Mom were on the dance floor for the “mother of the groom” dance. Grandma nudged me hard and stage whispered, “Oh – he marry an old-a woman!” as she shook her head.
During the Carter administration: “Jimmy Carter – stoopidoni!” – and then she would give a big Jimmy Carter smile.
On things you cannot change: First she’d rant on them a bit – then shrug and go, “What can you do?” I use this one myself now.
