No, Lilred... I'm not that full blooded Canadian/yoop-er (Pronounced: "Yoou-per"=Person from Michigan's
UPer Peninsula...AKA "Da Great White Nort! eh'!")
But my maternal Grandmother was. She was a
VERY PROUD naturalized citizen (From a little town, up near Montreal Canada) She was full of "Hoo Aboot That, eh'?" or "How are ya, besides what ails ya?" or the classic
"I brought it, I'll park it!" When ever we youngins' (
) asked if she needed any help getting up, down, or around.
One
Hell of a woman. Raised 3 kids + Many of their friends + Borders + was a Head nurse + played the church organ at 5 masses a day and several more on weekends, as a single mother, all through the great depression and for 41+ years at the same church. You didn't give Grandma any sass!
I do say "jeez-o-petes" all the time, as I'm trying to be a good boy (44yrs young) like my folks raised me to be, and not swear........as much!
Thanks for the good memories & a good chuckle!
