My Grandmother was a very propper lady who preferred to be called "Grandmother," if you please. She would call me kiddo, and some of her favorite phrases were, "You betcha," and "No kidding?" Which would be substitutions for todays "DUH." She loved lavendar, orchids and zebras, and me. We spent a lot of time together during my high school years. She would come and stay with us when my parents went out of town, which was twice a month. She was there when I went to my Prom, and when foreign visitors arrived from France, and she was the one who asked if I had rings 3 days before my wedding. When I didn't, she gave me hers. That was the most precious gift I have ever received. I thought of her and Spence and the love they shared and I told her, that if my husband and I were as happy as they were I would be truly blessed, and I am, and I was blessed with one terrific Grandmother. Yippee!
