Jots and Tittles and other Random Things

Saturday, April first. My musings.

It has been interesting to say the least the last few days. My grandma's birthday was yesterday. She was born March 31, 1906 and passed away in June of 2000. She said that she wanted to see the turn of the century, and by golly, she did. It still boggles my mind that she was 6 years old when the Titanic went down. What things she had seen in her life. She was a good woman, although strict to my mind. She enjoyed sewing and reading and talking to her soap operas. I remember her having had a red Ford Pinto in my mind's eye.

I also remember thinking that she hated my dad the way they "carried on" with one another. I found out much later in life that it was their way of showing "affection" (my family is weird) LOL.

I also remember sneaking out of the church with one of my younger sisters and playing hide and seek in the parking lot. Boy did we get into a lot of trouble when grandma caught us. I also remember her letting us stay with her when our house burned down, even though it got her into a lot of trouble with her landlord.

She has been gone almost 23 years now, and every so often she comes to mind. Her youngest daughter, who is my mom will be 80 this year.

Lots to think about and to reflect on.
