As I reflect on those who are no longer “with us” that have influenced my life for good, I cannot help but to remember my grandmothers. \u00a0They taught me so many “little things” over the years – some of which I still do – like:<\/p>\n

* looking for tar on my feet after walking on the beach<\/p>\n

* berries don’t have to be eaten raw – they do make good jam<\/p>\n

* mix lemonade with grape juice<\/p>\n

* heat the pot before making tea.<\/p>\n

What did your Grandmother’s teach you?<\/p>\n
