    How To Buy a Car

    Grandma teaches Grandpa how to buy a car–how not to pay more than it is worth or than you can afford.  34 years after he learned his lesson Grandpa has bought over 20  cars. The family has nearly always has one dependable family car and a back up car. This has saved the family so much money.  No car payments ever!  Only once did he feel he should buy collision insurance coverage. 

    His two current cars cost $1,000 and about $4000 dollars when they were new to him. Never has he bought a brand new car.  Occasionally he has offered money on cars at used car dealerships.  Never have those offers been accepted he just can’t bring himself to pay more than what it is worth to him.  Grandpa is OK with that.  So is Grandma.

  • Grandpa Kisses a Woman

    Grandpa Kisses a Woman

    Grandpa is catching his breath, on the plane on his way to deliver his report to Georgia Power and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in Washington D.C. He had realized he didn’t have the report! He wouldn’t be on the plane now if not for the work of Jody the secretary who drove across town with the papers he needed for the Nuclear Reactor case (another story). His boss had held the plane, his job was saved, and Grandpa realizes that… that… he kissed Jody. You know how people say, when they are very happy and thankful, “Oh I could just kiss you.” Well, Grandpa didn’t say that, instead he just kissed her.
