Well I thought it was great!
Childhood is an amazing thing memories are so vivid and wonderful. I can still remember how my grandparents let us play in the attic with my cousins on Saturday mornings. As an adult I went back to the house (they past away when I was 14) and opened that attic door and it was like a crawl space...lol. I had to duck and was totally uncomfortable. But somehow my two cousins and two sisters and myself would spend hours there on Saturdays. lol!
Their house always seemed so big to me, again perception was an amazing thing, in reality it was very small with tiny rooms even. They had this grandfather clock, that now sits with my uncle in Sonoma. The thing was this massive item to me. I got to see it as an adult about 5 years ago, I laughed so hard, it is maybe 4 ft high and 6 inches wide...tiny little grandfather clock. My uncle asked me what was so funny when I walked into there living room and burst out laughing. I explained to him my perception issue. We laughed together.
Amazing....
Hey what are you still doing here...go read Beth's Stories, they are amazing!

Those were amazing stories. I remember a few from a BU update I did a while back but I never got around to reading them. They brought back wonderful memories of my own Granny and made me even more committed to being a feisty Granny one day.
