Grandma Emma's thoughts on the month of March...

Grandma Emma had a favorite saying for the month of March....On March 1st, she would say, "In like a Lion, out like a lamb" or "In like a Lamb, out like a Lion" and most years she was always right!  March is the transition time from winter to spring. She could always predict how the spring would be... Yes, she was a "Wise Woman of the World" in so many ways...

Grandma Emma, thoughts on Walking...

Now with spring quickly approaching I often think of the days of living in Mukilteo with Grandma Emma. She loved the flowers of the Spring and being able to be outside again after the cold winter. Every day she would walk, usually in the afternoon. One of her favorite sayings:  The more you walk, the better you walk and the better you walk , the more you walk....She was right with this thought. And that is what she did, Walk.... I believe that this helped her with her long life..Exercise... She was a wise woman of the world....
