Tomorrow I will finish scanning My Grandma Likes to Say by DENISE
BRENNAN-NELSON. It has a lot of handwritten parts in it that have to be
typed in. I think you will like this book.
Introduction
"Heavens to Betsy!" my grandma used to say, and I'd wonder, *Who's Betsy? *When
she'd tell me I was *cute as a bug's ear, *I'd think, "Grandma must not like
me very much." Bunnies and puppies are cute, but bugs' ears?!
Grandma liked to say, "She's not playing with a full deck." (I can't tell
you who she was talking about. She told me not to *spill the beans.) *Every
year on my birthday, Grandma gave me a silver dollar and advised me to *save
it for a rainy day.*
And in Grandma's eyes *I hung the moon.*
I didn't always understand what Grandma meant but her strange expressions
stirred my imagination. What funny pictures I created in my head!
What special expressions does *your *grandma use?
Listen to your grandma. She *wasn't born yesterday *and her words hold
wisdom that comes from having *been around the block a few times.*
*The bottom line is *grandmas are in *a league all their own. *They *spoil
us rotten, *teach us to *look for the silver lining in every cloud, *and
encourage us to *follow our hearts.*
And *when push comes to shove *grandmas would *move heaven and earth *for
us.
