Grandma would also tell me stories of her childhood and I would beg her to tell them over and over again. When I ask her about her grandparents she told me she never knew her Johnson grandparents. My next question was what their names were and she told me John and Nancy Johnson. She said her grandmother Welch lived with them for a while when she was young and grandma was blind. She said she and her sister would run up behind her and untie her apron strings and she would tap her cane on the floor and send them screaming and running. She said she was Scot on one side of the house and Irish on the other. I never forgot that and so far she has been right.
