I Love Gramma. She Is Sooo Smart.

By rhonnie69

For my eighth birthday party Gramma let me and my friends
have a sleep over at her house.

"For a tasty healthy snack" she said, "we'll have something
that is good for us...and good to us also."

Gramma had six apples. There were nine of us kids.
She divided the apples between us so that we all had an equal amount.
She did it in the easiest, most simple way.

How did Gramma divide the apples between us?

Author Notes While you might find Gramma's solution a bit humorous...it worked out just fine with us kids. It was sooo easy and simple. We liked it. We hope that you'll like it too. Cordially: Gramma's kids.

This posting will appear on the promotion page real soon. You will find Gramma's solution in your review.

Jesus said: "I am the bread that gives life,
Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry,
and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty."
JOHN 6:35.

Author Notes "People all over our world:
Why spend your money on something that is not real food?

Pray With Our Children.

By rhonnie69

PARENTS: Our children are our future...NO! NO!
Don't chain them to our ways. Let them go.

Let them go where?
Let our children go to Jesus.
WHY?

Because that's what Jesus has DEMANDED us to do.
Which means that He has told us to do this with
Authority, and claim as a right.

Jesus commanded of us:
"Let my children come to me."

"AND DO NOT STOP THEM."

Belongs to people like them."

SO...
HI. Hello everybody. HI.
Really glad to meet ya.

Hee Hee."

Chapter 10
My Little Tiffany.

By rhonnie69

I will never forget the day that my daughter was born.
Tiffany was born with severe heart complications.
They told her mother and I, that she wouldn't live more than one year.
Seven years later, our little Tiffany was still alive.
A few days after she was born while we were visiting her in the hospital
all she did was cry. No one could make her stop crying.

Her mother passed her to me.
"Here, Honey...maybe she'll stop crying for you."

I stood there with her nestled in my arms,
looking down upon her distorted little face.

Tiffany's teary eyes opened. She took one look at me.
She immediately stopped crying. She smiled for me.
Then she closed her eyes...and she fell fast asleep.

A few days later we took our baby home.
She spent most of her days tucked into her cozy bed.

When she got older while she was there,
I spent all of my days kneeling at her bedside,
poking fairy tales at her giggles.

One day she looked up at me from her fluffy pink pillow.
Her eyes were blinking like twinkling stars.

"Daddy, are you God?"
"Who? Me? No no no, my dear. I'm far from being God."
"Then why do you look like God?"

"Me? I look like God?"
"It's your eyes, Daddy. I can see your heavenly love for me in them."

"You can?"
"Yep. I can remember the first time I saw that look."
"You can?"
"Yep. That was a long time ago."

"A long time ago?"
"Yep. Seven years to be exact."

"You can remember that day in the hospital?"
"Yep. I'll never forget that day, Daddy."

I was mesmerized. hypnotized, I was spellbound, speechless.

Tiffany giggled.
"Now you look like, Daddy."

"I do?"

"Yep. God wouldn't look dumfounded and all."
We hugged and laughed, hugged and laughed, hugged and laughed.

There came a joyful expression on her face.
She relaxed her head down in her fluffy pink pillow.
She looked sleepy.

"Daddy, I want to be with you for ever and ever."
Her eyes looked in my eyes. My eyes looked in her eyes.
"I'm coming home, Daddy. Now. So I can be with you.
I'll see you there...okay?"

"Okay."

Tiffany smiled for me. She closed her eyes...and she fell fast asleep.

Today...is two years later. I have not missed a single day visiting her.
I carry a new tear stained bouquet of flowers every day,
to place at her grave.

Her baby face has been etched on her tombstone.
Her eyes looks in my eyes. My eyes looks in her eyes.

And she smiles for me

Author Notes This is a story of fiction. It is based on a true story, that happened to a family member.

that I like to play."

"God blessed me with two Grammas.

"Today Gramma Amy shows us all
how to blow pretty bubbles."




Author Notes Before I was old enough to know my grand parents, to my dreadful sorrow...they were both deceased. So my posting here...is just a dream.

Little Boy Blue.

By rhonnie69

Sisters. Can't live with 'em. I Don't wanna live without 'em. I got lucky. Grew up with six. Me and two brothers were scattered about in the mix. My Sister, Shirley is, and has always been the heart of my heart. But why oh why was she born two years before I was. She always called me, "little brother," with a teasing giggle. And she always made it a point...to put an accent on the word, "little."


Fact about it, I was a little, little. But I didn't want anybody calling me little...especially a big girl. Shirley was a pesky big girl that Mom, put in charge of me. Shirley loved that more than she loved getting seconds on dessert. And she made sure that I, "KNEW," that.

She had this two word phrase that really baked my buns..."MOTHER SAID," What Mom said to her about me wasn't a biggie with me. But it was what Mom said to Dad about me when she got mad at me that got my humble regard.

Then there was my sister's three word phrase that left me in awe. "I'M TELLING MOTHER." That she used for her warning remark when she wanted to boss me around and laugh at me when I submitted to following her commands.

I was in first grade in 1952. Shirley was in third grade. First grader kids always got dismissed before third graders. So..."MOTHER SAID," that I had to stay in my classroom and wait for my sister to come and get me and walk me home. That didn't turn out to be the center of my joy.

WHY? Because of my friends...the guys. I was the laughingstock of the school yard. I was the only boy who's sister had to walk him home from school. I begged my sister not to show up to walk me. But she always showed up, floppy tailed dress and all.

"You ready to go home, little brother?"
"No. You go home. I'll be right behind you."
"No. Come on, little boy. You'll be right beside me."
"No. Scat. I don't need you to walk me home."

"MOTHER SAID, I gotta walk you home."
"She won't know you didn't"
"But I'll know. I'm doing what, MOTHER SAID."
"I don't care what Mom said."

"Oooouh. I'M TELLING MOTHER."
"But everybody's gonna laugh at me."
"What would you rather get...laughed at...or a beating?"
"I won't get no beating if you don't tell on me."

"But I WILL, tell Mother on you...and you WILL, get a good beating tonight."
"Then YOU, might as well get a beating right now.?
"HA! From who? You?"
"Yeah. Me."

"Ha ha ha kee kee kee hee hee hee. You know you can't beat me."
I puffed myself up."Yes I can."
"No you can't. Tried lots of times. Lost lots of times. And you'll lose again now."

Well...to make a long story short, after she beat me up, she had me laying on my back.
Sitting on my tummy, pinning my arms to the grass, and looking down on me, she asked...

"Are you ready to go home now, little brother.?"
"OW! This hurts.!"
"Wrong answer."
"Get your butt up off me."
"Wrong answer. You said, BUTT, You know you just said a bad word. Don't ya?"

"Is this gonna get back to Mom?"
"Wrong answer. That's a question. No. I won't tell Mother if you do what I say.
Now...I answered your dumb question...answer mine. Are you ready to go home?"
"Okay okay I'll let ya walk me home. Just let me get some air."

Shirley would stand, tug on my arm until she pulled me up.
Then she would brush me off real good first. Then she'd brush herself off real good,
and start walking as she towed me.

Pull-jerk. Frown-smirk. Drag-haul and that ain't all.

While I floundered behind her stumbling along,
She always sang her dainty little song.

"I love you, Rhonnie."
"Then let go of my hand."
"MOTHER SAID, that I gotta hold your hand. She don't want nothing bad to happen to you."

"Bad like what?"
"Like you goofing off and go running out in the street and get hit by a car."
"I ain't that dumb."
"Ooooo I'm not so sure."

"Shirley, are you smarter than me?"
"I've got a quarter. Do you have a quarter?"
"No."
"That answers your question."
Then she'd lead me into the store a buy me a bunch of candy and stuff.

Sisters, can't live with em'. Don't wanna live without 'em. I got lucky.
GREW UP WITH SIX.

Author Notes This is a true story. The year was 1952. The place was in a small country town named, Whitesboro, in southern New Jersey.

Chapter 22
Grammpa Gramma And Me.

By rhonnie69

Grammpa and Gramma.
Over cookies and tea,
Were K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

I would have missed out.
If I had not seen them...but I did,
So I sat down between them.

They both pretended like they didn't care.
And they kept on kissing,
like I wasn't there.

They sometimes let me have my way
And things weren't much different today.

I was their earth angel
Their favorite little boy
So I helped myself to Gramma's Chips Ahoy.

When I did that Grammpa looked down,
At me munching on my cookie chocolate brown.

He laughed with a jolly, ho ho ho.
"To that your mom would say, no no no."

Gramma looked at him, then she looked at me,
"Oh, Dear," she said, "can't you plainly see?"

"He's having just a crumb of fun,
Let the child have a cookie, he only has one."

"Cory, I have fresh milk and strawberries too,
I'll go to the kitchen and get some for you."

When Grammpa and I are both alone,
We talk to each other in a boyish tone.

We talk about him and my Dad.
And the fun that he and Dad have had,

"Wasn't you and Dad supposed to go fishing?"
"Yes. But your Gramma's, NO, has left me wishing."

"How about a beer down at the bar?"
"Nope, stay home and wash the car."

"And when you're done doing that?"
"Walk the dog and feed the cat."

"Mom has a bunch of stuff for Dad to do too."
"I know. Says he wish he was ten, like you."

"Then Mom would make him put on clean socks."
"Yeah. And stop pulling the pigtails of his sister's swinging locks."

"Yeah. and get rid of his spider collection, and his wriggly mouse."
"Uh huh. And stop putting it in his sister's doll house."

"Make him clean up his room, smile and then."
"Plop in the tub and take a bath again."

"And make him eat a whole bunch of veggies."
"Yep. And make him stop giving his little brother wedgies."

Grammpa and I laughed, until our cheeks turned red.
When Gramma came back this is what she said.

"I overheard what you two were talking about.
"you are both little boys without a doubt."

"And just because of what you were saying sounded.
Both of you are as of now...GROUNDED."

Author Notes "Gramma is like Mom...sometimes they can be a pane in the glass.
Grammpa is like Dad...sometimes they're both snowmen, with cool boyish class.


Chapter 23
I Think.

By rhonnie69

THE SECRET TO UNDERSTANDING A WOMAN???

"There is no secret. I just need to get to know what makes her tick.
My life's greatest reward is my ability to share my achievements
with the woman that I cherish."

"It comes more from my mind, than from my body.
It comes more from my heart, than from my hands"

"It is something internal, that is benevolent,
and needs to be poured out, to my loved one."

"I do not need money, or an extravagant life style.
I just need the right kind of soul."

"I need the conviction of living with purpose,
and with a clear conscience, so that I can
experience the frills, thrills, and chills of looking
ahead serenely, and optimistically."

"NOTHING UNDER THE SUN IS NEW.
What will be...has already been...and is now."

"A woman today, is the same as she was yesterday,
and as she will be tomorrow,"

"She is sweet, delicate, and she is fragile.
She needs to be handled with care."

NOW and THEN.

"She needs to be pampered, embraced with love
She ought to be treated just like a dove."

"Charm her each and everyday
bring my lady a floral bouquet."

"Complement her on her make-up and hair."
When we go out to dine help her with her chair."

"Light her cigarette if my lady smokes.
Tell her humorous boyish jokes."

"Then shut my mouth and let her blab.
Say uh-huh okay, then pay the tab."

"Let her take the last wine sip.
While I leave leave our waitress a generous tip."

"Stay close behind her as we exits the door.
Say, 'After you,' with smiles galore."

"Before, during, and after her chosen meal...

LET HER KNOW EXACTLY HOW I FEEL."

"Invite consequences whether good or bad.
Through health, sickness, whether happy or sad."

"Always and forever, 'til the end from the start.
Treat her like a lady, 'til death due us part."

"When I talk to her look into her eyes.
Because in them I'll see her heart's replies."

"when the warming glow in her eyes say, 'kiss me.
"DO IT." while I can. Kiss my woman tenderly
and say..."You've made me a happy man."

"And then when I feel something jumping,
no that's not only mine but her heart too thumping."

"Tell her she's number one in my life.
Tell her that I truly love her."

"And of all the chicks I used to party with,
I place none of them above her."

"Tell my running-mates and my associates,
they'll just have to understand."

"I'm out of here I love my dear,
then come and take your hand."

"I have rearranged my activity, started a new program.
I'm not hanging out with the guys no more,
a brand new man I am."

"Don't look for me in the same ole places.
Socializing with the same ole faces."

"I'm going to spend my time with you,
doing what you want to do."

"You're my shinning star that's what you are
sent from heaven up above."

"There are no diamonds on earth that can equal your worth
you are the perfect example of love."

"My endeavor in life is to make you my wife,
and live happily with you forever."
"I give to you a love that's true and comes to an end never.

"My bank account the full amount is solely wholly yours.
I'll say 'I do,' and stay with you 'til we enter heaven's doors."

"This dedication of mine has no finish line
it goes on and on my best friend.
I am sincere I'll love you dear and my vow will never end."

"Like a bird in a tree my soul sings with rhapsody of my love for you.
You captured my heart the very first time I laid my eyes on you."

"May this fire in our relationship forever fervently burn.
Oh heart of my heart teach me...I really want to learn."

"I'll do my part I'll give my heart with honor that is due.
I'll marry you and take you home so you can teach me to WOO."

Author Notes "The best things in life are free.
Oh love of my life...my future wife,
Without your sweet loving...
LIFE WOULD MEAN NOTHING TO ME."

Di Vinci: "Drawing a nice lady, who's not mean like you."

Lu Lu: "I'm the best artist in the whole wide world.
You can't draw as good as me. And I'm bigger than you.
So I can be mean to you all I want."

Di Vinci: "Says who?"
Lu Lu: "Says me."
Di Vinci: "Okay...says you. We'll see."

The kids continue trying out Lu Lu's crayons on her bedroom wall.
After they are done Lu Lu looks at his drawing...and then at her's.

Lu Lu: "HEY! That's not fair. You cheated me."
Di Vinci: "NO. You cheated you, when you got conceited.
You didn't share love with me fairly."

Lu Lu: "I apologize little brother. I was wrong. Will you forgive me? Please?
Will you teach me how to draw as good as you draw...Please?"

Di Vinci: "Yes. I forgive you, Sis. And, yes, we'll learn how to draw together."
Lu LU: "Oh thank you, Little brother. What's her name?"
Di Vinci: "Oooo...let's just call her, Lady Love.

CURTAIN.

SO WE SHOULD DO AS HE DID.

Jesus obeyed His Father through...
Tears, sweat, blood, and pain.

He obeyed Him even to His grave.

SO MY PARENTS DID WHAT HE TOLD THEM TO DO.

Jesus said:
"Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the land that I'm giving you."

Mom, Dad, Six sisters, two brothers, and me later...
Came the Jones family.
