Goliath, your Granny was a wise woman. I would have liked to meet and converse with her.

She was indeed. One thing she used to say," That's
your little red wagon. Your going to have to push
it or pull it."

She died several years ago. (I was a pallbearer) One of the people who have really loved me. When I was a sprout and got to visit, she always made a point to get me alone and give me a dollar or something.

Later, when I took girlfriends to visit, she always gave them lace doilys she had made. They were beautiful. My family were mountain people (or as we say "Hillbillies") and that was a wonderful life.

When my grandma died, one of my cousins wrote a
eulogy which had many fine things to say but the part I remember most was "She taught me it was ok to be stubborn and get your own way sometimes"

That give me chills right now as I write this.
So true.

I can only try to imagine how wonderful the mountain life must have been. I was raised by "country" grandparents, and while my granny didn't leave any wise sayings as yours did; she did leave love enough to carry me through my life. We were basically poor people, but we didn't feel poor. Grandpa had a huge garden, and grandma canned and made jelly and jam so we ate good. She sewed well, made many of my clothes. We did live in the city (Louisville) part of the time, but it is our time in the country that sticks with me most.

The simple life brought with it the wisdom, abundant love, and so much more that is missing in our lives today. I often wish I could go back to that simple time.

Thank you for sharing some of your memories with me. It brings back great memories of my own.
