First Attempt

Well, here I am -- on the world wide web. Just waiting for someone to read my blog. I never imagined that I would do this, but, lots of people blog. Just a way to get things out of my mind, I guess. Don't really know what anyone would be interested in hearing from me, so I will just tell you some funny stories about my family.

Now that I want to write about something, my mind is going blank...ok, here goes:


My granddaughter is always saying funny things. One day, she told me that her other grandmother was her favorite. I asked her why she was her favorite and she replied, "Because the answer is always 'yes', and she gives me treats." I guess you can't argue with that logic.


This same granddaughter once pushed my bangs away from my face and noticed my gray hair. She said, "What in the world is all over your hair?" I guess she thought my hair color was actually blonde.


At a recent cookout, one of my little nephews and their grandmother were comparing muscles. The boys tightened up their arms and showed off their little muscles. The grandmother did her arm muscle, and one of the boys said, "Mamaw, your muscle is on the bottom of your arm!" What a hoot. Little kids notice everything, even when we think they don't.


I have a blind dog. One day, she was standing patiently waiting for someone to open the door, but she was standing in front of a brick wall waiting expectantly for it to open. We laughed and then felt sorry for the poor dog and let her in the door. She had no idea she was so funny. It was a sight, though.
