I know it's Sunday, but we're having a flashback. But I digress.
Somehow, this morning on our way to church, the conversation turned to the old school cartoons. The Old Man mentioned that the Roadrunner and Coyote were his favorite. That got us all three talking about some of the many ways that Wile E. Coyote's big schemes would always backfire on him.
My favorite was when he would get squashed by something and it would leave him folded up like an accordion.
They don't make like this anymore.
I've thought a lot about Grandma over the past week and a half with Dad being in the hospital. Grandma was born on this day in 1906. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her. But thank the Lord they are all happy and great memories.
This morning, Mom and Dad and I were laughing about St. Patrick's day coming up - Grandma would put green food coloring in the mashed potatoes and would make green jello. On Valentine's Day, she would make a heart-shaped cake and would make cherry or strawberry jello.
Grandma was a very strong-willed woman, and she followed Lord's commandment of "love thy neighbor", because in all of her years, we can honestly remember her saying that there were two certain women that she "just couldn't like". If it's any consolation, me, Mom and Dad didn't like those two women, either. But I digress.
I'll end this post with one of the best quotes from Grandma "Old time friends - they're the best."
