Fearless Great Grandma

1641 Main is the spookiest house ever we all said to each other.
I said it to my husband, my children, my nephew and my brother.
It’s not spooky to me said my elderly ninety-six-year-old grandmother.
She is not frightened of anything because she is the ultimate mother.

She has raised fifteen children to maturity and seen a whole lot.
Has buried three children and two grandchildren in our unique family plot. 
We are not sure what would scare her, the answer is not plain.
But she surely would not fear a little house like 1641 Main.

Delightful woman; delightful tale. I doubt that much would scare her!

Nothing scared her - she was only four foot ten too.
