Hey Granma, we love ya!

[Granma Gertie]

Howdy Ya’ll!

Welcome to the world of Gran’ma Gertie! I reckon I aught to interduce myself. I was borned Gertrude Maybell Smith somewheres around eighty years ago in the piney woods of Georgia. I been married to the same old geezer fer what seems like ferever. I got my share of wrinkles, and my hair’s been gray fer so long that I done fergot what color it used to be. I’ve always been a big ol’ strong gal. My daddy used to say it was ‘cause I come from good stock.

I was borned and bred way out in the country, and never took a shine to the big cities and all their high fallutin’ ways. Now I ain’t sayin’ I ain’t never visited some of them places, cause I have. Why jest in Georgia, I’ve walked in downtown Savannar and seen all them big, old houses built side by side and I’ve walked down River Street. I’ve seen the state capitol in Atlanta and stood at the foot of Stone Mountain. I been to the beach and to the mountains. I've been on big highways and back country roads. I had an uncle what lived in Columbus, and been to a few doctors in other big cities. In my younger days, I even traveled as fer west as Californy, been as fer north as Canada, and as fer south as Mexi-co. This here country gal has done some travelin’ in her day!

But I’m jest an ol’Georgia gal, and I reckon I’m about as country as you can git. Ya’ll jest better keep in mind whilst readin’ my stuff that country don’t mean ignernt ner uneducated! I jest write the way I talk, that-a-way, maybe ya’ll will understand me a bit better. If'n I wrote all proper like, it probly jest wouldn’t come out right. I ain’t un-educated, but I don’t try to be somethin’ I’m not. Jest plain and simple, that’s me.

I reckon a lot of people might git upset by some of the stuff that I’m gonna write here, but that’s alright by me ‘cause we all got a right to our own opinion, and I ain’t never been scared to let mine out. I don’t expect ever body to agree with me, but I think that all opinions are at least worth listenin’ to. I reckon sometimes I might be a bit blount, er kinda go against the grain so to speak. It’s a habit of mine, jest ask Gran’pa!

On the other hand, there may be a bunch of folks who happen to agree with my opinions. I reckon if they agree with me, then maybe we all kinda growed up with the same kinda raisin’. There ain’t many people believe the way I do, as most of what I think is right, is now jest plain out dated, er so I’ve been told. Now I know that times change, cause at my age, I done seen a bunch of changes in this ol’ world of ours. Some fer the better and a bunch fer the worst.

Now that you know a little bit about me, I reckon we can discuss a few things, you know, chew the fat a bit.

I reckon I'm jest like ye. Some folks dun accused me a being as country as cornbread. I'm a fixin to finish the eighteenth grade sos I guess I'll pass fer educated too. I like jest plain an simple. It's best to be the same day-in an day-out. Puttin on airs jist aint fer me. I reckon some folks don't like ta hear me a tawkin an go around a makin fun, but that don't bother me none.

Granma I fer one am a right smart happy ta have you join us. ;D
