Grandma Belle

mygrandparentstoldmethat:

My Grandma Belle was an amazingly wise woman. Here are few of her tidbits.

“If there’s room in your heart, there’s room in your house.”

THIS is why I’m hosting a seder for 19 people on Saturday.

Grandma and Grandpa were married for 65 years. My last memory of the two of them is Grandma sitting on Grandpa’s lap. 

At their 60th wedding anniversary, I asked Grandma if she ever thought of divorce.  Her response was “Divorce? Never. Murder? Every. Single. Day.”

When I got older and started dating she was more serious. I remember her telling me the following after a fight with my High School boyfriend.

“When you are married, there are only three reasons to divorce.

  1. If your husband is having an affair.
  2. If there is an addiction
  3. If he hits you. 

Everything else can be worked out.  Relationships take work and if you’re not willing to work to be with him, he’s not the right one.”

Check out the new blog for John D. Spooner’s NO ONE EVER TOLD US THAT: Money and Life Letters to My Grandchildren, which is called My Grandparents Told Me That…

It’s full of great grandparental advice. Share the best advice you ever got from Nana and Poppop!

Apple, Inc. could teach the Chinese a few tricks about secrecy. In this crisply written, engrossing book, Adam Lashinsky lifts the veil on how Apple really works and why it has been such as astonishing success. That is yesterday. What this book also does is explore tomorrow, including the challenges confronting a gifted group of executives trained by Steve Jobs but bereft of his leadership. I devoured this book in one sitting.
