One In Every Bunch

She probably was saying "Oh ave Maria, Holy Ghost-a mary, he is doing it again"...
Or something to that effect...
Never have grown up.
You would have been 90 the other day,
and I will always be indebted to you,
for the food,
for the love,
for the scoldings,
but most of all -
The plain fact that you kicked ass.
Gramma Minnie.

Ha! Is the little show-off you, Mark?

My mother always says there are two kinds of grandmothers, those who give books and those who give cookies. I think I'll strive to be the third kind, the kind that kicks ass!

Nice tribute to Gramma Minnie.
