This is my grandma.  She passed away many years ago.  As a child of 7 to 9, I couldn’t wait until she came to visit us.  We lived out in the country.  Now when I say the country.. I mean the country.. the kind that the kids are out catching crawdads, chasing pigs (yes yes to catch them so that we were out of trouble), riding horses that we shouldn’t have been on, washing machines on the front porch, etc.

Little was I too know that she would eventually offer her house to my father to live in.  She was getting older and thought a little apartment would be better for her.  We moved into her ranch house when I was 9 years old.  I was later to find out that my grandma was worried about our education.  Where we lived the schools weren’t the best but they were where she lived.  She was an amazing woman.  One that I truly wish I had been able to get to know even better but as a child you weren’t like that.  I miss her dearly today.

She lived in her nice apartment until I was a teenager I think.  Honestly I don’t remember when she moved in but my dad added an addition on to the house so that he could take care of her.  Actually in actual fact so that my mother could take care of her.  She was an alcoholic by then.  I remember how mom would be working and my grandmother would sneak off to get her gin. (I think it was gin.)  I was a kid what do I know.  The drinking led to diabetes and then to alzheimers.

This kind woman went from being the talk of town to someone you didn’t know.  She was a teacher by trait.  She was a writer.  She took me to Sunday school when dad and mom allowed it.  She was an amazing woman and I loved her.  When I was trying to lose weight and doing aerobics, she would sneak in to watch me.  I heard her giggling behind me.  I miss that giggle.

Happy Birthday, Grandma.  I love you.

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim’s post. (It’s our way of saying “Thanks!”) We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme’s best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let’s go!!

Today we ripped this meme off a blog that is written by a group of high school students. The blog is called Eternal Fireworks. The writers are: Michael, Kynan, Alex, Kenny, Chris, Leo, Shelley, Athy, Bam, Tina, and Bnita. There is no statement as to where it came from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. It is a long meme and we shall do it in parts. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

21. If you were to live your life without your best friend, what would change? Nothing because I do live with my best friend.

22. Tell us about a era of your life that you really miss. I don’t think there is an era that I miss.  I think I miss portions of it.  I miss my first husband.  I miss being a child with no cares in the world.  But I like my life now so I don’t want to go backwards.

23. Have you ever been betrayed by someone that came as a complete surprise? Without revealing the person, if yes, tell us about it. Yes, when I was a teenager I was betrayed by one of my closest friends.  Without going into details, she told lies about someone that I respected that wasn’t true.  I was so naive.

Welcome to the August 26th edition of Thursday Thunks!

And here we go:

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of organic salsa and the number 3333.

To whom did you last give the finger? That would have to be my husband.  I don’t remember the reason.  I know it wasn’t because I wanted some.
If you had 1,000 dollars and HAD to spend it, what would you buy? Since it said “buy”, I’d try to go to the car auction in Louisville and buy a new car.  Ok the car would be used to some but new to me.
What was
