Today is President’s day, but it’s also the day I can’t help but think of my grandma Ella’s birthday (which is the 22 & always close). For some reason, when I think of president’s day, all I can think of is my grandma..funny how our little kid minds make associations like that 
and to honor my lovely grandma Ella, I wanted to post some of the things she taught me..she was purty sassy, so obviously, some of these will be heartfelt, and some sassy!
important things I remember from my grandmother Ella
+just don’t give a dang about what others think!
+no matter the circumstances, always have a beautiful fur coat with a cute broach
+never give up no matter what society’s standards are; set your own.
+invest love in your family and it will blossom for years
+enjoy the little things {like butterscotch candies}
+create, create, create in whatever way you can:
{sew, embroider, knit, cook, design, engineer, act, play, sing}
+be faithful to your kids, and even if they go against your wishes, don’t cut them off
{my mom bette, 1969, cross country road trip, grandma says no, bette says yes,
grandma says no, bette packs up the car, grandma says no, bette is a teenager,
grandma bakes cookies for bette}
+remember the important things and give them away as much as possible {psalm 23}
…love you grandma and thank you for everything you have given to our family; we love you
