About This Blog

“Grandma tell me about the olden days…” I love stories about days gone by. I am intrigued by common and uncommon turns of phrase. I hope to honor those who have gone before us by remembering the stories. I want to shed light on everyday colloquialisms past and present. Some posts will be fresh, some “old as the hills.”
Most of my posts will fall under four different categories.
Genealogy: Mostly for my family to enjoy, this category will feature a picture and a story about one of our ancestors.
Remember When: Recording the stories of days gone by.
What’s that Mean: Unraveling colloquialisms used by primarily by my Southern Grandmothers and Mother with a few thrown in from my thoroughly modern daughters.
Straw Hat: Original short stories written by me.

I have added dogs, beach life, nature,  and the kitchen sink to my list of  categories!
