Close To Home
I had a spare grandma. She was a friend of my maternal grandmother because their families crisscrossed somehow. (I once knew the specifics but I forgot long ago). It so happened that Lola Gaines and her husband Henry lived in Liberty, Mo. the same time I attended college at William Jewell there. They were the best anti-homesick remedy around. Sometimes they picked me up before church, sometimes after. Either way the visit didn’t end until I enjoyed a home cooked meal and a little bit of time at their mysterious, ornate antique pump organ tucked into a guest bedroom.
