I've always thought that Francie is "all Langan" in her looks, but perhaps some of Aimee's grandmother's Celtic genes (Irish/Welsh) are showing as well!<br /><br />In any case, Mom is one-of-a-kind. As a product of a Great Depression family of 8 strapping, handsome boys and 5 beautiful,feisty girls, a hard-drinking,hard-working, coal miner turned welder Welsh Methodist Dad and an energetic, hard-working Irish Catholic Mom who moved from upstate PA coal country to city-life in Philadelphia....well...there are many, many stories of "back in the day" Aimee, the next time you talk to Granny, ask her to tell you the story of her one and only baby doll which her brothers decapitated so they could use the head for a baseball.....!!!!(for real)<br /><br />As I have said many times, my girl, "you should write a book".<br />You could fill it with Granny stories...<br /><br />I am sorry for people who don't know their history. No matter how crazy it may be, it is a treasure...<br /><br />Blogging friends: Tell your stories to your children. Ask your grandparents to tell their stories to you and your children. Your families will be richer...GeeGeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33252138.post-51744969543464823702009-05-23T09:10:29.376-05:002009-05-23T09:10:29.376-05:00OK, that was too funny.

I could steal your idea and use some from my grandmother only she chases so many rabbits in her stories, I am not sure I have ever actually heard the ending to one. I wonder if people would mind just hearing the beginning of 10 stories. Hey, it might be fun, we could do like elementary school and people could make up their own ending!
