Miss You Grandma!

My Grandmother passed away in July ‘07, which was not exactly a shock for any of us. She was very old and suffered for years from Alzheimer’s. So, Christmas ‘06 I typed up all of her poetry (she was a wonderful poet) and had it bound into a book for my Dad. While I was working on it I found this…

And I shit you not, this is word for word — please keep in mind that she was one of the first human beings on the planet and is therefore a wee bit old fashioned. LMAO

• Basement Bedrooms & Family Rooms.
• Being entertained by friends in the basement. It’s a great place for children to play on wet days, or for the young people to entertain when they want to play games or dance to loud music. Quiet talks and tea should be in the parlor, living rooms, or even the kitchen.
• Taking one’s shoes off to enter a friend’s home. It spoils the look of your whole attire. One should carry dress shoes in winter and wet weather, or wear rubbers. This should eliminate the need to remove your shoes…except in Japan.
• Back door entrances. Only Tradesmen and servants enter by the back door. There is an exception; when the kitchen is in the front of the house. Then it is used as the main room, where guests sit and talk and are entertained.
• People that do not control their children when they visit you. ALL house rules apply to visiting children, and adults. It’s not impolite for the host or hostess to suggest where the children play, and what is off limits.
• People that do not send Thank You notes. Not that I want the thanks, but to know the gift or whatever was received.
• People who refer to children as “Kids”. I raised five of them; none of them had four feet or horns. Kids are small goats…
• The same people, referring to young people as “Teen-Agers.”
