As I get older my grandmother comes more and more into my thoughts. She was a tough old lady, incredible cook, kept a spotless and beautiful home. BUT, she was short and very fat and never, ever wore anything but a black dress with a full apron over it. Thick stockings (in all weathers) and lace up shoes. She was old when I was a teenager and I thought she was hopelessly out of touch with life. Now when I think back to visiting her I can smell cherry pie, roast dinners, and the wonderful clean smell of her home. She had made her own sheets and they were always washed and hung out to dry and I will never forget sleeping in a big feather bed with those wonderful crisp sheets.
We take much for granted these days.
