Silly Grandmother

I love my mammaw. She is my hero. She has always been one of my best friends and confidants. We have had some long discussions about everything in the world. We have some disagreements over political things. She is a what you call a "yellow dog democrat" . If a yellow dog was on the ballot, she would vote for them.

She really through me for a loop when she voted for George Bush for president the first time in 2000. I thought hell froze over and I did not get the memo. She did not re-vote for him in 2004

Any way she voted for Obama. Big surprise. She knows how I am so not a Obama guy. I mean I guess he is a nice a guy in a sort of Fascist, Communist, Socialist, Marxist, Leftist sort of way. If you like that sort of thing.

She knows I am also a avid reader. I read a lot of books on all sorts of topics. So for Christmas she got me "The Audacity of Hope" by non other than the Chicago Thug politician himself, Mr. Obama. She even inscribed it for me. I love her.

Plus she got me Mike Huckabee's book "Do the right thing". I told her that that was more like it.

I am going to read both. I love her.

My Mom-in-law has the Huckabee book. I'd like to read it, too. He seems like a godly man of principle. BTW, would've sent you guys a Christmas card but don't have your address...maybe you can send it on fb. Merry Christmas!
