My grandma was born outside of Portageville,Missouri, on her dad's farm.
I was born in a hospital at Dyersburg , Tennessee.
 |
Grandma didn't have a WAL MART to buy toys like I do. She had the Ben Franklin and the Barkovitziz Department Store.

|
She didn't get to watch shows like "Sponge Bob" or "King of the Hill." She enjoyed shows such as"Captain Kangaroo" and Saturday cartoons.   |
My grandma got a bathtub in 2nd grade because her dad had a good crop that year. I've always had a bathtub . |
| Grandma ate at the City Pig in Portageville, Missouri, on special occasions such as birthdays. I go to Ryans on special occasions such when my brother and I make honor roll. |
My grandma's bicycle was as important to her as a Playstation 2 is to me. |
| My grandmother and I both like to wash the dishes. She hated to pick cotton, and my least favorite chore is mowing the lawn. |
I like to hang out at my grandma's house
and she liked to hang out at the Shannon Theater at Portageville. |
My mom drives a 2005 Dodge Durango, and her mom drove a 1953 Ford.  |
My grandmother's town's most important rule was no town drunks. My town's most important rule is no fighting or cursing. |
When my grandma was younger than I am right now she thought the word "pecan" was "becan."  |
My grandma didn't have video games like we do today but she did have pinball machines.
