Girls were to be properly dressed without anything like dirt or sweat from playing allowed to mar the image. But, both liked to read and I have fond memories of time spent reading childrens' books with each of them.<br /><br />My fav heroine is Pearl in Caroline Clemmons' The Most Unsuitable Bride. She works so hard to help others, all the time thinking she's unworthy, until she realizes it's her loving heart that matters, not her questionable appearance. The questionable appearance is her perception, not her friends' or her hero's. <br /><br />Have a great week.Sandra Crowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632425591094120799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-57415669671398165772011-02-16T09:12:44.334-05:002011-02-16T09:12:44.334-05:00What a lovely tribute to your grandmother.

In fact, I can only remember seeing him twice. Once at his house and the other in a casket. I can't ever remember him speaking to me. It is so good to have such wonderful memories and your love comes through in every word.Ruby Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030839859107760855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-18191532596373392482011-02-15T23:47:26.584-05:002011-02-15T23:47:26.584-05:00Isn't it amazing how the women of the past for...Isn't it amazing how the women of the past forged this country?

In fact, the week before she was diagnosed with liver cancer, she raked her half-acre and hauled the clippings to the empty lot across the road. And she never bought a washer and dryer, preferring her ringer-washer and lines.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-9345351971733043722011-02-15T20:44:26.761-05:002011-02-15T20:44:26.761-05:00Your grandma sounds like my mom when they both wer...Your grandma sounds like my mom when they both were healthy. Garden, yardwork (& we ain't talkin' 6x9's either), raise chickens & livestock. Those are the women who settled our nation. I don't think they spilled a tear for a hang nail. Thanks for posting this. I have a whole new appreciation for your character Millie now.Sheri Fredrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074141702013317937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-15264437765005094852011-02-15T18:13:58.683-05:002011-02-15T18:13:58.683-05:00My Grandma Walter was an amazing woman, too.

She was also an amazing storyteller...despite the only book she EVER read being the Bible. I know this is where my love for telling stories comes from....I miss her everyday.
