Easier said than done, when your "little modest home" is the bonus room over someone else's garage.
Over the years, one's acquired this impression that the grasswire primitive's a silly old woman.
During the Bush administration, she whined about the "lousy Bush economy."
And then sometime in 2008, she whined about how a relative's restaurant had fallen on bad times, and had to close. She commented how well it had done, how business had been good, steadily increasing.....early 2001 through mid-2007.
Uh; one wonders who controlled Congress up until early 2007.
She's also very proud that she can claim Canadian citizenship under some sort of law that was passed a few years ago.....and so one wishes she would go ahead and do that, and one suspects she doesn't because then she can't enjoy the benefits of being American.
She's a rabid garage-sale shopper (yard sales, rummage sales, whatever one calls them), and occasionally sells something on eBay, but one has the impression it just provides her a nickel or dime here and there.
Her latest silliness--that I've seen; there inevitably must be more--was her declaration that she shops for groceries daily, walking to the store and buying a bagload each day, because it's "European."
Whoop-de-doo.
She's a regular in the cooking and baking forum, but she's far from the personality, depth, and oomph! of Mrs. Alfred Packer.
