Mom doesn't really have sayings that I remember, but she always has advice, always interesting, given only when we ask for it, and tempered with her experience and common sense, stirred with her love and given in just the right doses. <br />I hope I also can give my children wonderful memories and perfect advice, just as my mom gave to us.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169013206539244621.post-21838292178454375312011-09-22T16:41:33.659-04:002011-09-22T16:41:33.659-04:00So funny and true Mary Lou!

I'm so glad to know that "blackguarding" would get other people in trouble, too - my Mama (my mother's mother), was always complaining about one of my uncles, who would "come around here using that blackguarding talk." As a child, I thought it was spelled "black garden," lol, and wondered where that was!Jeannahttp://ragmamarag.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
