Hi honey, its your old Grammie.
Hi Gram.
Honey, if you had a choice of colors, would you rather have black and ivory or just plain ivory?
Uhhh.......? Well, I have a hell of a time keeping anything white clean....so black & ivory?
That's what I thought (a triumphant sound in her voice).....I am the same way!
Are you making something? Are you going to crochet me some more covered hangers?
I'm not making anything.......And if you were a size, would you say a small or a medium?
Gram, what is this for?
Christmas honey, Christmas presents. I want to do Christmas presents this year and so I am doing it. I am ordering you a sweater.
Oh......great........Medium. Usually I wear small shirts, but medium seems the safer bet these days.
A person never knows with sweaters....
When I was little, my Grandma would hand us the giant JC Penny Christmas catalog and have us go through and circle things that we like. She lives in the country on a cattle ranch 30 miles from the nearest town, so ordering things from a catalog is her main mode of shopping. I immediately pulled up JC Penny's website to look for sweaters that come in black and ivory, but found nothing.....maybe I should check Cabela's and Intermountain Ranch Wear too.....
No matter where it comes from, or what it looks like(even if it looks like a clown face...and yes, that is Will Wheaton), I vow to love it because it was picked with love by my Grammie. She has taught me many wonderful lessons in life. She is giving and kind and has the biggest heart of anyone I know.
She also taught me the following:
1. If you get your stomach wet while washing dishes, you will marry a drunk.
2. A tablespoon of vinegar a day will help get rid of your cold.
3. Brazil nuts (aka nigger toes) are good for your sinuses.
4. Salt over the shoulder for luck.
5. Going to bed with wet hair will give you arthritis.
6. A nursing woman should drink beer to increase the quality of her breast milk.
7. And while on the topic of breasts, regarding the size, Grammie always says that more than a mouth full is a waste.
I love my Gram.

That is one boss sweater.
your Grammie is a wise woman. I'm gonna go and drink a beer now.
As long as beer doesn't actually make you (me) lactate...
If beer made us lactate.....we could have our own human dairy. Freak-eh!
So what black and ivory sweater did you get?
Actually, I got a black ribbed turtleneck and a black wool vest to go over it......I was almost disappointed!
