I had the best Granny in the world and she was a character, the older I get the more I am like her and little things she did that drove me nuts…I now do and they still drive me nuts…luckily the storage of the mayonnaise is not one of them.

OK so my sister and hubby know where this is going.

We were at my Granny's one time and I think we were making sandwiches and she had this little jar of mayonnaise in the fridge and we used it all up, so we said "Granny we are out of mayo" and she said "I have more" so then she got under the cupboard and pulled out this 100 gallon jar of mayonnaise…did you see I said cupboard…not fridge.  So she opens up the big jar and starts to fill the little jar…so we are like…"OMG! Granny you can't use that mayo if  you don't keep it in the fridge after you opened it".  Now I admit they kept their house cool and it is Canada which is not Arizona…but still…we quickly threw it away and said "maybe this is why you get the poops once in a while Granny" although she used the word trots.  I sure do miss her, and I hope Granny and Poppa are together eating delicious sandwiches in heaven with fresh mayo every day.  I hope you enjoyed that little story and you will still remain a blog reader…(this would be considered a "this n' that" part of the blog) if I have offended anyone it was not my intention.

Have a great Thursday and thanks for stopping in.

P.S. I hope to see you back here tomorrow!!

    Ha! Good times!!!
    I know that you have customers and others on your blog, but you really shouldn't have to apologize for things you write on your blog. It's YOUR blog. If someone is not interested in a post you put up then they just don't have to read it. I don't want to offend anyone by saying this (ha!) but if they are offended by something you write on here – which is 100% your own thoughts and opinions which you are entitled to – they just need to chill out.
    So as MaMMa would say – Don't waste a worry – let your freak flag fly high and proud and post whatever is on your mind!!!!!
    Love you
    Jacqui

    Thank you Cindy, I need to remember why I started my blog in the first place…to tell stories and be like a diary so to speak and of course share my stamping. So glad you enjoy it. Hugs, Di

    Ok, but I think once it is opened that is different. We can't change people's minds though can we? Doesn't mean we have to eat at their house…ha! But I would give anything to sit down and eat anything with Granny again. Even hot mayo out of a jar under the cupboard. Hugs, Di

    LOVE the story! So funny the way things in our family stories can bring a smile to your face and you just have to share them. I love it and so glad you shared it!

    I agree with Cindy (above) your blog is always so much fun to read and see what you have in store for us – crafty, family, critters or anything in between!

    Hugs!

    It's really a wonder we lived as long as we have, I mean I remember Granny keeping the left over turkey from Thanksgiving in the cold oven. We would pick at it and eat off it…why the heck we didn't get sick is beyond me. Hugs, Di

    What a funny story and you shouldn't have to apologized for what you post on your blog. Its your blog…not the readers. And if the word "poop" offends them well they need to get their big girl panties on. Me…I would have been blunt and said *s..t* but that's how I roll. My grandmom said "the trots" all the time.

    I think your Granny broke the two hour rule as far as Mayo goes. Your story is opposite of mine…I had a wonderful aunt who insisted that everything be made from scratch including Mayo. She was amazing, paralyzed by a stroke which left her left side useless…but even if you had a cookie and a hot tea the table was set with a lace cloth, a china plate and tea service. Everyday she would whip up a fresh jar of mayo if she knew it would be needed. Miss my grandmother so much.

    Hi Sandra, too funny…on *s..t*. Your Aunt sounds fun and I can just imagine how much pleasure she had setting it all up and that she got to share the time with you, even with her stroke. Maybe my Granny and your Grandmother have met in heaven over some tea. Hugs, Di

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
