Young people have a way of twisting words to get what they want, don't they? For that matter, so do husbands. :) Shangrilewis, Thank you for sharing the sweet memory of your grandmother. How come I didn't inherit a dictionary? I had to buy ours. Hopefully I will start a wonderful dictionary tradition, too. Please don't think I am ungrateful. I have old books in almost every room, an antique sewing machine, and a beautiful quilt my great-grandmother made. Faerie Rebecca and Andrea,

Shangrilewis,
Thank you for sharing the sweet memory of your grandmother.

Please don’t think I am ungrateful. I have old books in almost every room, an antique sewing machine, and a beautiful quilt my great-grandmother made.

There are more lastings things in life and more fulfilling things in life then just being amused by your passive playthings. And, that reminds me of the lovely and quite large dictionary I have sitting on my end table shelf. The one my dear Grandmother (who is still alive and in our mid 80’s) made all her dear children look up words in. My sons google everything or use the Oxford English Dictionary (online of course). If you do not know about the Oxford English Dictionary you might want to see if your local library system or a reciprocal system has a subscription in it’s database. Many major city or large county systems will gladly allow you to have a library account with them even if you don’t live in their region.

I received her rather large dictionary when she moved. She made all her children look up words when they couldn't figure them out. Thus, my mother did that and now I make my children use the Oxford English Dictionary, so they really get those meanings. Love your blog...I'll definitely be visiting again soon.
