Book Description
Old sayings, idioms and synonyms are as Americana as apple pie. They are a part of our history and culture. "My Grandma's Old Sayings from A to Z and More" is a collection of over 800 old sayings and their meanings, that took the author five years to collect. Growing up in a small southern town in the 1950s and 60s, old sayings were a way of communicating. Although, times were hard, people didn't complain. It was a time when people said what they meant and meant what they said. They loved their neighbors. When a neighboring family hurt, all families hurt. When ask how things were going, the answer was always "fair to middling". When they parted ways at the end of the day, it was always "I'll see you tomorrow if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". The author's grandma was a God-fearing woman who was full of joy. She loved to talk and old sayings were part of her everyday conversations. She had a saying for every situation, for good times and bad times. The "And More" at the end of the book is food for thought. There are fun words and phrases, do's and don'ts, sayings for good luck, sayings for bad luck, superstitions and little words with big meanings. Also, learn how people loved old sayings using body parts. Now, you can join the conversation and have fun! Remember the old saying, "to make an omelet, you'll have to crack some eggs."

Book Description
My grandmother IS a force to be reckoned with. I say IS because whether she's here on earth in the flesh, or up in Heaven with God, Jesus, the angels and the other family members that have preceded her in death, she will FOREVER be present and alive through me and her descendants. One day while sitting in church, as the pastor asked us to turn to a scripture in the Bible; I noticed she had a photo of me when I was five (5) years old tucked in between the pages of her Bible. When I asked her to turn back and let me take a look, she just shrugged off my gesture and shushed me so we could hear the pastor's sermon. Over the years, I would wonder I why I could never get away with the things that most people could get away with. Over the years, I realized it was because my grandmother ensured the Lord's hedge of protection was covering me, all the days of my life. This book is dedicated to her and all of the grandmothers, grandma's, nana's, madear, madea's and every other name of love we give them for it is because of their love for us, that many of us stay on the path of righteousness. To my momma. Thank you and I will forever and always love you and even though I never bought you that house I always wanted too, your memory and your wisdom will live on forever. Your last words to me were "I wouldn't trade you for your weight in gold". Thank you for ensuring I KNEW you knew who I was and ensuring your last words to me were the phrases and testimonies of love you had always given me. May this book bring a smile to your face as you reminisce on my grandmother's wisdom, jokes, sayings, remedies, and the other southern colloquiums that have been shared from generation to generation from our grandmothers, grandfathers, and family members over the years.

Book Description
Much of my education I have acquired from my maternal grandmother: María Cristina Barrón. Among her teachings you always found a saying tailor-made for what occasion. Over the years I have learned sayings from other people; in most cases, elderly women. This book is intended to be a tribute to all of them and to the millions of women who have endured popular wisdom through the years through sayings. It is also a way to spread Spanish through the proverbs. It is not intended to be just another book of sayings, since not all of them are —not even close— but they are all of them. The idea is to present some of the most popular sayings and comment on them from the humild and opinion of the writer. The other intention of the work is that the sayings of these women endure over the years and do not fall into oblivion. It is not a book —nor does it claim to be— that you consider your own, since many of the sayings are anonymous. It is a rec nowledge and pay for that s grandmothers who both offered their teachings and complained so little. To all of them: thank you, a thousand thanks.
