My maternal grandmother told us about the prison camp, managing to make it seem like a big adventure when we were too young to take in the horror of what she left out from the stories. My paternal grandmother didn't tell stories, as such, but she would use phrases and rhythms that worked into my imagination. "Three sheets to the wind" was one of hers that's stayed with me.Sarah Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379986260169703599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3533238794548293419.post-79487640014376663852009-12-30T12:33:21.954+00:002009-12-30T12:33:21.954+00:00Thanks, Vanessa!
