Granny Shirley


Guest written by our friend Sergio Chaney

My son plays high school baseball. One of his best friends on the team is named Josh. Josh’s mom works for one of the airlines and gets to fly free all of the time. Sometimes she gets extra passes, and she and Josh invite my son to go fly with them to different places. One time they took my son and another friend to the Virgin Islands. That was an experience of a life time. The last time my son got invited to go with Josh, they went to Columbus, Ohio, to visit Josh’s Granny Shirley. From what I hear, Granny Shirley is quite a character. My son says she dresses really funny and laughs all the time. She can cook some really good cornbread. She says her secret ingredient is sugar. They did bring me some back after that trip, and I thought it was awesome. Granny Shirley is a former high school social studies teacher. So she has a wealth of knowledge about history. One of her favorite things to do is watch old war movies on http://www.directstartv.com/. So my son said that both nights that they were there, they had to sit with Granny Shirley in her den and watch two different movies about World War II. I am pretty sure it was boring to him, but she did feed them homemade ice cream.
