Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old sayings, idioms and synonyms are as Americana as apple pie. They are a part of our history and culture. "My Grandma's Old Sayings from A to Z and More" is a collection of over 800 old sayings and their meanings, that took the author five years to collect. Growing up in a small southern town in the 1950s and 60s, old sayings were a way of communicating. Although, times were hard, people didn't complain. It was a time when people said what they meant and meant what they said. They loved their neighbors. When a neighboring family hurt, all families hurt. When ask how things were going, the answer was always "fair to middling". When they parted ways at the end of the day, it was always "I'll see you tomorrow if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". The author's grandma was a God-fearing woman who was full of joy. She loved to talk and old sayings were part of her everyday conversations. She had a saying for every situation, for good times and bad times. The "And More" at the end of the book is food for thought. There are fun words and phrases, do's and don'ts, sayings for good luck, sayings for bad luck, superstitions and little words with big meanings. Also, learn how people loved old sayings using body parts. Now, you can join the conversation and have fun! Remember the old saying, "to make an omelet, you'll have to crack some eggs."

Download or read book Grandma s sayings commented written by Víctor Fernández Castillejo and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of my education I have acquired from my maternal grandmother: María Cristina Barrón. Among her teachings you always found a saying tailor-made for what occasion. Over the years I have learned sayings from other people; in most cases, elderly women. This book is intended to be a tribute to all of them and to the millions of women who have endured popular wisdom through the years through sayings. It is also a way to spread Spanish through the proverbs. It is not intended to be just another book of sayings, since not all of them are —not even close— but they are all of them. The idea is to present some of the most popular sayings and comment on them from the humild and opinion of the writer. The other intention of the work is that the sayings of these women endure over the years and do not fall into oblivion. It is not a book —nor does it claim to be— that you consider your own, since many of the sayings are anonymous. It is a rec nowledge and pay for that s grandmothers who both offered their teachings and complained so little. To all of them: thank you, a thousand thanks.

Download or read book Whoever Wrote em Granny Quoted em written by Penned by Win and published by . This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book came out of my fondness for wise sayings and proverbs that express universal truths--it derived from me paying very close attention to the ways people explained themselves or expressed what they were thinking in order to drive the point home. A number of these maxims, adages, and sayings I started collecting many years ago. Some are not credited to any particular book or person because most are FOLK SAYINGS, perhaps quoted by millions and forgotten. Nevertheless, when possible, I cite the name of the poet, the scholars, and philosophers from whom I quoted. I've heard many quotes from friends, relatives, school teachers, pastors, the media and the all mighty newspaper. However, I never forget my granny, with her quick witty apples of gold sayings, making sure they were embedded and rooted in my memory bank to live by. Sometimes, I still hear her voice speaking to me, saying, "Child, believe me when I tell you, there are two kinds of people--the people who lift and the people who lean, choose one." Thank you, Granny, I did! I am grateful to all the wise scholars and contributors from King Solomon to Shakespeare and Booker T. Washington, who voiced and wrote their quotations down with me in mind and hopefully with you, my dear readers, in mind also. These saying are just as true today as when they were coined.

Download or read book Jesus Jacinto and Granny s Bottom written by Brenda Duncan Johns and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was fifteen years old, I married the boy that I had fallen in love with when I was just thirteen. Gerald was the only boy I ever truly loved, and after we married, we had to leave our little "ghost town" of Jacinto and move to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to make a living. I had never been more than twenty-five miles from home until then. My parents raised me in the Methodist religion, but after moving to Kenosha, I quit church completely and went deep into sin. The nightlife in the juke joints really got a hold of me, and I was lured into a life I never thought I'd live. I found out that that kind of life only leads to despair and heartbreak, and I began to wonder if God was real. Would He help a poor sinner like me? What life had in store for me proved that God is real and that He gave his only son, Jesus, so that I could have everlasting life. On my journey to find this truth, I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in religion. I've seen false prophets, cults, and self-loving preachers. Come walk with me on my journey. I think in the end, you will have to agree with an old Baptist preacher who once said, "I do believe that old gal is real for God!"
