Yeah! All of the stress and heartache and bad feelings are finished or at least can diminish and we can get back to remembering good old granny for the funny awesome chick she is. She put the Ahsumness int the brothers of Ahsumness. There are so many funny things that remind me of her everyday.
Like the fact that I have a terminal illness I am not quite sure what it is and I am yet to be diagnosed or even checked for one. But the fact still remains it is terminal and more than likely will make my face fall off or something other weird thing that is totally impossible but its going to happen. Thanks for that little absurd trait Granny funny yes,but very Iona. And we all do it.
The fact that you pushed, pulled, or coaxed the ox into the mire does not diminish the fact that the thing is in there and still needs help out. But while we are getting him out lets get some liquid refreshment in the form of a coke. And what is a coke without a candy bar, or a doughnut and we should do the rest of our shopping so we don't waste this trip getting the ox out.
Granny apparently new several carpet experts and had it on there good authority that a carpet is not clean unless it has had seven passes back and fourth in the same spot. And despite the fact that she was blind she knew every spot you missed the sixth and seventh pass on. I would like to find these carpet experts and slap there faces and call them some nasty names. these experts probably also happened to own a vacuum company. If I did I would tell everyone there carper needed eight passes at least.
the hollow in Nephi after dark is the scariest place on earth and if you don't cross at main street you are screwed. I have to admit I probably would still go three blocks out of my way just to cross it at main. Sure I will walk out in the dark woods to get to where I am hunting. But you drop me in the middle of Nephi after dark and its every man for himself. It would either go to main street, or resort to the old tried and true run like hell method and pray they don't catch you. What "they " are I don't know but "they" are super scary. If you don't believe me just ask the carpet experts they would agree.
And just on a final note MOM I am so proud of you. You did the right thing and Granny knows it.

Oh so true. . . The hollow was and is scary as hell.
ReplyDeletecan you guys start identifying yourself when speaking as brutha 1 and brutha 2 or something? you kind of have the same writing voice. it's a might bit confusing. start by saying "this is brutha 1 speaking" or something.
ReplyDeleteyou know what's funny? when reading about the hollow i myself thought exactly "that is scary as hell." The hollow makes us all curse. Great.
I'm glad it's over, too, and hope we can all start picking up the pieces.
i miss going for a coke. ouch, that hurts. we should all still go cokin' for granny!
How did we walk down the hollow every day after school? What were we thinking???? I guess it's a little different at night... no, no it's not, the hollow is the freakiest place on earth! Even in the daylight! I would have a stroke if my kids were walking down the hollow! What were our parents thinking??????
ReplyDeleteDo you really think we knew you were walking down the hollow???? NOT! I bet I set many Olympic records running from the corner a block away from my house - over the hollow and into my house while Jeanette Wilkey watched to make "they" didn't get me!!! Love ya most - mom
