My Grandma...
...is eighty-eight years old.
...was born at home on August 10, 1920, the same year women got the right to vote. Miss Stumberg was the midwife, and she caught 7 of my grandma's 8 siblings as well. Here's the house where she was born!
...has been known to answer the door in hot pink short shorts or her bra.
...likes to complain about the "old people" on the road who drive too slow, while she herself drives down the left-hand side of the street.
...used to have a booth at Soulard Market in St. Louis where she sold everything you might want and nothing you'd ever need.
...has a house full of all the junk she wasn't able to sell at Soulard or the antique mall. Sometimes we find treasures in all that junk.
...used to buy about 300 boxes of Girl Scout cookies from me to sell at Soulard on my behalf so I would get all the sweet prizes for her hard work.
...enjoys harassing waiters and makes sure they earn their tips.
...retired at about age 85.
...raked leaves in her backyard with Harmony and I yesterday. (She changed out of her hot pink shorts first).
...sits on 3 pillows stacked atop her driver's seat in order to see over the steering wheel.
...says "Joy to the World!" all the time. And "Namaskar," which means, "I salute the Christ in you."
...gives the best foot massage ever!
...has about 20 index cards that say "THINK!" plastered all over her house.
...took my sisters and I to Ted Drewes a few years ago to give us a lecture on oral sex. We about died!
...tells me there are gypsies living across the street from her.
...has saved every card or painting or present I ever gave her.
...cries easily, but laughs easier.
...always says, "The light of God surrounds you, the love of God protects you, the presence of God watches over you, wherever you are, God is."
