I can just picture your Grandma up in heaven screaming, "what does a person have to do to get a decent margarita around here??!"

I totally believe it was your grandmother. One of my friends says her car radio would come on mysteriously by itself often after her dad died, and she was convinced that it was him stopping by to say hello.

I didn't know her, but I like her. And the i...

My kids always think I'm insane when I start crying while reading something on the computer.

This was beautiful Vic. Thanks.

And I've added you to my 'They Love Me' list.

Ok, that made me tear up. Your grandma was a special woman, and clearly had good taste in grandchildren. - ShoesFit

Was it a Sunbeam blender? Mine's been acting up lately and I was curious if granddad could be sending a more subtle message.

Hubby actually opened up and talked about "it" for the first time last night. He said "when my mom passes...". It really caught me off guard, but I told him how proud I was of him for being able to verbalize.

I like ghosts that can make fancy blended drinks. Those are way better than the ones that kill you. A+

And her picture? Beautiful as well.

nova,
I think I'll just want to fly around when I'm a ghost. Maybe torment mean people.

Steamy,
She does! (especially in that picture.) It's really good to be back. I feel like I have so much catching up to do! (Ghost Frapper is my favorite)

Jules,
Your great aunt is so fashion conscious! Hey I heard there was a nice girl in the garage while I was gone? What's up with that? My world is all upside-down!

Gaston,
Thanks --she was great. It's good to "see" you!

Fragrant,
It's true, I do. I like that your grandma was so direct - no room for misunderstanding! Blenders can be so ambiguous. (It's good to "see" you too. :)

Hey Kez!
I love that fart story! You have to love someone who's irreverent even as a ghost. My kind of people, for sure. :)

Ed,
10:10 is when the portal opens?

Diane,
I missed you too! I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL - that's not an easy way to go, and so hard for the family. How is your husband doing?

Vic, I've really missed you, and I'm sorry...

2010-10-11T14:35:30.895-07:00

Vic, I've really missed you, and I'm sorry for what you & your family have been going through. So I guess I'll have to forgive you for being away so long. Sometimes we can't talk about what we're going through until it's over. I know this from experience because my MIL was diagnosed with lung cancer this Spring and I haven't posted a thing about it yet. It's been hard so far, and I know my kids will feel very similar to how you are feeling when they lose their grand mom. So my heart is with you, and I'm sending you hugs.
Thanks for sharing this with us, in your humorous way. Welcome back. xo d

P.S. Granny was a looker.

Aww sorry for your loss!
Years ago when my friend (19 at the time) passed away in a motorcycle accident it was reported by his family that he liked to fart when they were trying to work on the eulogy :)
They would smell a horrible fart and then blame each other before realising that he had always loved to fart before leaving the room so they couldn't yell at him.
I love those types of stories!

P.S. Glad to see you back.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Vic. Obviously, though, G-ma is still with you, and she's going to make sure your appliance anarchy continues in perpetuity. Perhaps that's a family thang?

My G-ma once spoke to me in a dream. She shouted. Her words were: "I'm your grandma, you better not forget about me." So I haven't.

I miss her. I know you miss yours.

2010-10-11T05:23:31.995-07:00

She sure chose an interesting way to manifest herself... I love it and I love the way you told the story because it reeks of love!

2010-10-11T03:22:00.624-07:00

I get that. My great aunt turns on my Chi straight iron. I always have to ask her not to. She's going to burn down the house........

I wish she'd turn on the blender in the morning. I have smoothies every morning. Maybe I'll ask her to do that instead.

Wow! Does she look like your daughter or what? Yo...

2010-10-10T22:27:34.845-07:00

Wow! Does she look like your daughter or what?

You're like the Ghost Blenderer. Or the Ghost Smoothier. Ghost Frapper okay I'm done.

She sounds like a fun lady, I'm sorry, Vic.

But I'm so happy you're back.

That's so going on the list of things to do when I'm a ghost.
