• OLD LADIES

  i forgot to post this yesterday…. but since reading andy’s recent blog i just remembered….

  SOME old ladies are awesome (minus the rude one that andy
  encountered… and the one that BUMPED into my sister and chewed her
  out even though it was the old lady’s fault… then my sister told her she
  was gonna die when she saw her later…this is what a poor college girl
  does with no sleep and is aggravated by a mean old lady)

  majority of my mom’s old lady customers at the store are pretty cool…
  really open and friendly… yesterday this one old lady, who just
  started coming to the store, came in again for framing and she was
  talking about her husband (who passed away)… and mid conversation i
  noticed she needed XYZ and her belt was only in like two loops….i had
  to motion my mom to tell her b/c i think i’d just feel embarrassed
  about telling her… my mom told her as she started leaving and the
  reaction totally threw me off…i’ve come to the realization that as
  you get older, you’re pretty open about things…. but anyway… she
  came back and was fixing herself and mentioned “thank you…. gee…
  seems like and OPEN INVITATION!”  at that point i was smiling and
  after she left my mom and i thought it was so cute….

  and then there is the 90 year old woman who enjoys collecting art…
  and who STILL want to collect art…she’s pretty awesome; still drives,
  recently had cancer and was told she was gonna die but went to another
  dr… and was treated and the cancer is all gone! and since she’s
  recovered she brought me her batch of her yummy ginger snap cookies!
  mmmmm…

  AND LAST but not least MY GRANDMA… i swear sometimes she’s like
  super-grandma or something, driving up to the city to sing karaoke,
  taisho koto lessons, gardening, redoing the japanese garden and moving
  rocks (btw she does this sometimes when we’re NOT at home)…. oh
  yeah… one time my grandma moved this HUGE freezer, b/c she said she
  couldn’t wait for everyone to come home, so she just did it… go
  figure….CRAZY woman…

  here’s to the COOL old ladies! and a boo to the cranky ones who b/c
  they’re miserable, they have to ruin everyone else’s good times….
