This post is nicely done sir.

Your grandmother sounds like my grandfather on my mothers side of the family. He was the story teller of the group. Whenever he would visit us or us him and my grandmother, these was always some kind of story to be told. There are three or four stories that always seemed to get told, but sometimes changed just a little so as to work it into whatever was being talked about.

He's also the one that would come to visit and then take a nap in the middle of the afternoon and we all thought we was crazy doing that when we were younger. Now that I'm old I understand completely.

I enjoyed this post and yet it left the bittersweet taste of a cleansing in my mouth as well.
