Things Grandmere Taught Me


  1. Food made with love and purpose always tastes fabulous.
  2. Fussing over your hair, hat, dress, and lipstick is a good way to stall the made rush to church (and let certain people get their minds right about going).
  3. A lady knows exactly how to use an iced-tea spoon and can get through a whole get-together without (a) clinking ice cubes in her glass or (b) letting the conversation drop for more than a breath.
  4. Playing music is a gift, regardless of one's skill.
  5. It's puh-cawn, not pee-can. Remember that now.
  6. "Day-la" and "Good-night nurse" are things ladies say when they're surprised, happy, shocked, disappointed, angry, dismayed, or need a way to say "good Lord" in front of polite company.
  7. Lunch is not complete without I Love Lucy reruns (promptly at 12:30 pm) and pimento cheese on saltines.
  8. Every building and painting is beautiful. No buts, young lady.
