This is a representation of every Grandmother, all races, time periods possible from the 1800's to as late as 1980's, think about it reread the words. Think about it is it really revelnet to day.???

Do twenty and thirty or even forty year olds make homemade jams and breads;

Do grandma's today have a soft, loving but strern voice and still forever pray?

Does anyone make real clothing by hand, not the Walmart George or Nike brands!!

and polyester is a solid gasoline, but in the seventies you couldn't tell'em they weren't cool or clean;

and what's Black N White TV the first and true original shades of black;

the ground dark gray the skies light gray, the people even different tones of gray leaving the skies white...

TV where there was no reds for fire;

TV where blacks, (then colored) were different shades of blacks/grays

We were almost all equal then;

A man would hold a door open for a woman then? ? ?

Patchwork quilt made by hand

Mostly every household had a working husband;

A place where mother tended the children and grandma stay extended vacations at your house;

You could have gotten a spanking from your parents, and grandma twice;

If your not 50 to 60 and alive and over seventy;

then these words don't mean nothing to you;
