Poor Ranger!
The last few days have been rough for little baby Ranger. Sunday
morning she was climbing the bedroom curtains when an earthquake rumbled through and almost knocked her off the curtains. Just a few minutes ago Ranger was sleeping on the back of the couch when a 5.3 quake hit Yucaipa, about 8-10 miles from here. The shaking this time was so strong that it almost rolle little Ranger off the back of the couch! The kitties took the quake pretty well. Harri came in for some reassuring snuggles, but little Ranger is sticking to me like glue. She does NOT like earthquakes! Dan |

I guess Harri is used to the truck making a lot of movements, so the earthquakes didn't startle him quite as much. How is thier Paw doing by now? Joy |

Poor Ranger indeed. She must think the world is not like she hoped it was
in California. So scarey for the wee mite. Purrs that everything settles down soon for all of you affected by earthquakes. We did have one or two small ones here. But only one or two, ages ago. I remember the one when I was four. I was in the living room with my grandmother, quite early in the morning, maybe 7.30 a.m. We were just about to eat our egg and toast :-) The floor began to shake and there was a loud noise, like a train passing under the ground and a sort of climax to it, when everything in the house rattled and the clock fell off the wall. I began to cry because I was afraid (I remember it well.) My grandmother said "just eat your egg and toast, God is cross with someone but it's not you.." So I ate my egg. I was quite happy with that explanation because I knew thunder was about God being annoyed about something too. Grandmothers are wonderful, aren't they? Tweed let's have some OT grandmother tales. They deserve to be recognised for how they shaped our lives. "Dan M" wrote in message ... The last few days have been rough for little baby Ranger.

*sniff* I never had a grandmother, at all. They both died either
before I was born or when I was very very young. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita Grandmothers are wonderful, aren't they? Tweed let's have some OT grandmother tales.

They deserve to be recognised for how they shaped our lives. Well let's see. Grandma Brown was straight off the boat from Scotland (they emigrated around 1920). She had a delightful low-country brogue. The first thing upon going to visit, after hugging Grandma of course, was to check the tin on the shelf by the cellar stairs. Home baked cookies! Oatmeal, chocolate chip. She also made the most wonderful scones and shortbread. I inherited her cast-iron griddle which she used to cook the scones on. I've never managed to capture her light touch with the scones. (sigh) She also had a sense of humour. Mom told me once they were walking to church and grandma had put her panties on over a girdle. As they were walking, her panties slid down around her ankles. Barely breaking stride, she picked them up, tucked them in her purse and resumed walking. LOL Now here's an odd thing. My father literally married "the girl next door" so Grandma Mac lived in the house next to Grandma Brown. I remember one occasion when I took a Barbie doll over and she got out a rag bag and a needle and thread and on the spot hand-sewed a cute little skirt and top for my doll out of yellow and white gingham with a white lace trim. I swear it didn't take her 10 minutes and it was all hand-done. I was so thrilled! She didn't bake cookies but upon visiting it would not do to fail to check the candy dish! She made fantastic candy! I only once made her wonderful date-nut-coconut candy. We're talking a production that Lucy & Ethel would have found hilarious. It turned out well but it's rather like making tamales - once was enough. I've no idea how she managed this in her tiny kitchen on a regular basis. She also baked bread every Tuesday - 8 loaves. Two would be given to my Grandma Brown, she kept one and gave the rest away to other neighbors. Grandma Brown died in 1976; Grandma Mac (who was younger) died in 1983. I still miss them. And I wish I'd been a bit older so I could have talked with them about how things were when they were growing up. Grandma Brown was born in 1896 - imagine the things she saw in her lifetime! Went from a crofters-type cottage with peat fires and being a "ladies maid" in a fine house to being a housewife in the U.S. From the oil lamps and gaslight days to electricity; from horse and buggies to cars and seeing men walk on the moon.
