Books with title Dear Grandma

This book was created for laughs and is about the vintage lives of the children of yesteryear born and raised on typical farms and small towns of the midwest such as Tonganoxie Kansas, Haskell Oklahoma, Parkville Missiouri and the like. This book give great respect for the hard working Grandmothers who pioneered the great midwest and the images they create in the minds of their grandchildren as being the center icons of their dreams, imagination and direction in life.

"Good onset bodes good end." Spenser. "Well?" said Ralph. "Well?" said Sylvia. "Well?" said Molly. Then they all three stood and looked at each other. Each had his or her own opinion on the subject which was uppermost in their minds, but each was equally reluctant to express it, till that of the others had been got at. So each of the three said "Well?" to the other two, and stood waiting, as if they were playing the old game of "Who speaks first?" It got tiresome, however, after a bit, and Molly, whose patience was the most quickly exhausted, at last threw caution and dignity to the winds.

"Well," she began, but the "well" this time had quite a different tone from the last; "well," she repeated emphatically, "I'm the youngest, and I suppose you'll say I shouldn't give my opinion first, but I just will, for all that. And my opinion is, that she's just as nice as she can be." "And I think so too," said Sylvia, "Don't you, Ralph?" "I?" said Ralph loftily, "you forget. I have seen her before." "Yes, but not to remember," said Sylvia and Molly at once. "You might just as well never have seen her before as far as that goes. But isn't she nice?" "Ye-es," said Ralph. "I don't think she's bad for a grandmother." "'For a grandmother!'" cried Molly indignantly. "What do you mean, Ralph? What can be nicer than a nice grandmother?"
