Grandmother wanted to talk about dances , boys , silvery blue dress . She was a bit of an old lady and she had been married for many years but her husband died when they were young Now she wants that chilly October evening back to talk with her grandmother . So when daughter wants to talk funny stuff , Lisa knows enough to listen .
