We tried hard not to laugh out loud when we found out that the one and only time she tried to drive the "gearshift" was actually pedals on the floor. She got in the car, stomped on the pedal, and drove backwards into a wall. Never drove again.Grandma Cootiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709540756822695170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-84904632374299403112015-08-24T23:14:11.512-04:002015-08-24T23:14:11.512-04:00maybe how they grew upmaybe how they grew upbn100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-62459013180473156882015-08-24T18:40:43.494-04:002015-08-24T18:40:43.494-04:00I don't know much about my grandparents becaus...I don't know much about my grandparents because they all passed away when I was very young.

I would love to hear stories about my parents' childhoods and also love to hear what my mother's mother really thought of my father. I know there would be a colorful story there.<br />The book sounds lovely.

I would like to ask him if he ever regretted giving up a lucrative job to move his family back to a small community and move into my grandmother's family home (this was due to my grandmother not liking the big city). He took a considerable pay cut. From what I've seen, I think he was happy with his decision. They had an acre and he grew lots of vegetables and fruits. He was a small town boy, too, so he knew how to be frugal and work hard.<br /><br />bluedawn95864 at gmail dot comBonnie K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02780504029596670240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622828765030571851.post-5474684629622036552015-08-24T15:35:21.151-04:002015-08-24T15:35:21.151-04:00I wish I could just ask them general questions abo...I wish I could just ask them general questions about their lives.

She was an only child and close to her parents and loved to read. She married when she was nineteen and moved away with her husband whose job it was to take care of and manage a large farm. She gave birth to four children and was still as in love as the day she married. Both she and her husband contracted pneumonia one winter when the children were still very young, and my grandfather died. She was so ill she was unable to leave her bed to go home and bury him. She did recover and went home, where she became a widow woman with young children and a job....again unheard of in her day. When she talked about the love of her life to me many years later, the light still shone in her eyes.

She worked up until her due date, had twins naturally, and went home and took care of everyone all by herself. Then when my grandfather was injured in the war, she drove everyone several states away to visit him, all on her own. He was in the hospital for over a year. I wish I had an ounce of her strength! :) Jennifernoreply@blogger.com
