Some of Nana’s words of wisdom

If you step in it, admit it!

Keep bending your elbows

you sure like to bend your elbow!

You kids have got the right idea…..this free love thing is the way to go
(said to me at 22 in the presence of her 82 year old daughter and 52 year old grand-daughter…who proceeded to look at each other and demand “why didn’t that fly for us?”)

I’ll be damned if I’m gonna change these carpets. I’m never gonna get much use out of them. Why should I change them for you kids? Wait till I die, then YOU can change ‘em!
(about ten years later she finally changed the carpets…and she wore out the new ones too….she lived on her own until she was 100 years old)

to one of her many loved pets…..a bird who enjoyed the simple pleasures in life:
Stop that, you silly fornicator!
