MEMORIES OF GRANDPARENTS

SHARE A MEMORY OF YOUR GRANDPARENTS OR AN OLDER PERSON YOU LOVED.

My Grandpa Reddick couldn't have been 5 feet tall and slender. They had huge steps (stone or cement) the whole width of the front of the house. He would sit on them and chew tobacco. They also had an out-house and carried water from a well in the center of town - Gratis, Ohio.

Let me tell on Grandma Stubbs (my mom). She told about once she wanted to surprise her mom when she was away. She mixed up some bread dough. Evidently, it was too cool to rise well or something. She thought it wasn't any good, so she dug a hole in the backyard (no grass) and buried it so nobody would know. WELL, the sun came out and warmed the ground and white stuff came bubbling out! "BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT."

Grandpa tells of an old-time doctor that always rode horse and buggy. Well, he got a car and one night when going home after a very tiring day, he approached his barn and called out "Whoa, Whoa". The car went right through the barn.
