I just thought it would be nice to hear some anecdotes about your grandparents... I have a million about mine=). So after this i'm going to start posting a few about my grandmother, and my great grandmother. My grandfather died when he was still in his twenties...so I don't know much about him =(.

Anecdote 1: My mother was talking to my grandmother after she found out that my mother and my father were to be married. Grandmother: "So, you wanna marry my son, well that's great, i'm gonna welcome you to the family, i'm not a rich woman, and I'll do what I can for you, but let me tell you its gonna be a haaaard life." Add in some country accent and know that she was actually speaking the truth hehe. Anecdote 2: My grandmother was at a dairy queen with my mother/father. There is this local crazy woman in my home town who walks around wearing like just a shirt and a cowboy hat and talks to her self. My grandmother is sitting down at a table, and the crazy woman sits down at a table that is facing my grandma's back. The crazy woman proceeds to talk on and on and on carrying on a conversation with someone who isn't there, talking about her plans to travel, etc. My grandmother is listening to the conversation the whole time, I mean you can tell my grandma is getting into the conversation...Lol Anyways my grandma stands up when she is about to leave, looks behind her to see who she was talking too, and there is no body there. Grandma: "She's talking to nobody! There's nobody there and she's talking to um!" Anecdote 3: Great grandma (lets call her GG) GG carries a sock full of money around in her bra, about 2 or 3k. She is with my mother one day and she spills some food down her bra, she reaches in to get the food out, and pulls out her sock full of money (I guess the food was on it). GG giggles and then puts it back in. hehe. There's a million more but oh wells
