Weekends at Grandmas
When I was little around 4 or 5 I went to Grandmas house a couple times a month. She had broken her ankle and was still recovering when I came one weekend. We were all in the back yard that Saturday, I was swimming in a metal washtub and running around the yard while Grandpa did yard stuff, and Grandma sat on the bench swing. I don't remember what Grandmas wanted me to do but I wouldn't do it and she finally got upset enough to tell me Yes... I remember this part...if you don't come over here right now, the next time you do I will spank you! I of course just giggled and ran my merry way. About an hour later I had forgotten all about this and went to give her a hug and she spanked my little butt :-) then told me I should never ignore her again and when she says she will do something she meant it. Needless to say I never ran from her again ;-) She used to tell me that story all the time. She liked to tell everyone lol, but the funny thing is she probably only spanked me twice the whole time I was growing up. I told her this once and she said that is because I learned my lesson from those two times and that she got her bluff in early :-)
Smart woman.
O-I Slow Pitch Softball - Bea Busby
Back in the day when I was maybe 9 years old, so that would be about 1959, my mother was playing first base for the All Women O-I Glass Plant slow pitch softball team. This memory comes to me cause I spent all day trying to get into the 25th Street Theater to see a move, took me three hours, got in line after line, got settled, got my pop corn for this new Disney Movie and Mother ran into the theater and pulled me out kicking and screaming (not) cause we had to go to the O-I Glass Plant Country Club so she could play slow pitch softball! Do not remember much after that, but do recall seeing mother playing first base, catching the ball, throwing the ball, and even saw her hit a tripple, but think they lost that game, but again my heart was not in it since I did not get to see that Disney Dog movie...smiles and frowns. Mother did a lot of things for the O-I Glass Plant other than just work there...smiles.
