and granma betttylou , i know she dint need any more on account of her diabetes , but she always said , holidays and the fourth of july were days she got to go off her diet , like the diabetes would go on holiday those days , so she was digging in up to her wrists and shoving great gobs of popcorn into her face , not a pretty sight , ive got to admit , bless her heart , and now and then offering abe a handful , which he politely declined , saying he was waiting for mamas wonderful turkey dinner that he could just smell coming from the kitchen .
