My Grandma was born 1920 in Deuel Co, SD and passed away in 2018 in Deuel Co, SD. We spent alot of time together, I had lunch with her and my Grandpa 3-4 days a week. She taught me lessons which serve every day. She never talked about what she'd done. She always talked about what she was going to do. She did her thinking in the future, her thoughts were always there. Which made her tough to beat at cards.

Some of her best aphorisms:

"Boys, do something, even if it's wrong."
"A couple of weeks of twenty below keeps the riff raff out."
"Educated and smart are two very different things."


"Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passin.'"
