MeandMarj: What can I get Steve for his birthday?

Alison: Grandmother, I have to get ready. Steve arrives tomorrow and it's his birthday!
Grandmother: Oh, well, I should get him something? What does he need?
Alison: I don't know what he needs.
Grandmother: Well, if you don't know, who does?
Alison: How about some new golf clubs?
Grandmother: Golf clubs!?! Golf clubs are expensive!
Alison: How about golf balls?
Grandmother: How about a golf ball? I could probably find a golf ball in that drawer over there!

Sorry Steve - I tried :-)

MeandMarj: The Best Christmas Ever

A little early, but who ever complains about a little Christmas cheer :-) Our antlers were supposed to blink... 
Grandmother: Am I blinking?
Dad: Blinking, winking, and nodding!
Grandmother: This is the best Christmas I've ever had!








MeandMarj: The Radiator

Alison: Ah, the apartment in Nashville. Grandmother, you remember the apartment in Nashville?
Grandmother: Oh yes, that radiator put off a lot of heat!
Alison: It sure did.
Grandmother: Those wood floors needed carpeting, the windows needed a new paint job, the stairs needed carpeting, the shutters needed work. Boy, your landlord needs to fix this place up!
Alison: Oh, Grandmother, you should give him a piece of your mind!
Grandmother: Oh, I will!

The Corleeeee girls in Nashville


MeandMarj: Steve, get rid of that hanger!

The Hultquist ladies and the Corle ladies are gathering for a picture with Steve and he has a hanger in his hand!


Grandmother: Get rid of that hanger! That is unacceptable for this picture!


No one listened to grandmother (although we should have :-)) It looks so silly!


All was well with the KKG pic :-)


MeandMarj: Wedding at 85!

Alison: I can't believe you are getting married! Are you so excited?
Grandmother: Not bad for an old lady! Getting married at 85!

Grandmother's wedding day (Grandmother and Larry)

The cousins



MeandMarj: Babies?

Alison: Why did you only have Dad? Why only one child?
Grandmother: Oh, you'll see! Whoever tells you it's fun is lying!
Alison: What do you mean? Why was it so awful?
Grandmother: You'll know!
Alison: Grandmother, you've told me it's so awful, I'll never know! Because you've warned me so much, why would I risk it?
Grandmother: Oh you have to try it at least once.
Alison: Why? You just told me how awful it was!
Grandmother: You have to have at least one, it's what makes the world go 'round!

MeandMarj: For My Chi Omegas...

Alison: Grandmother, what is this lamp doing on this chair in the entry way?
Grandmother: Oh, I found this lamp and was thinking you may need a lamp down there.
Alison: I'm pretty sure I don't need any extra lamps, but sure I'll take it downstairs.
