Thank you Mr. Lester for posting the video... Grandma was a special lady..she and Grandpa raised 6 boys and 6 girls. Her pinto beans and cornbread were especially tasty, we were instructed to mash 'em up real good so they would absorb more juice , and fill your tummy up real fine! I never once heard her raise her voice in anger. It was a real sweet surprise to see your video posted. Thank you very much for sharing it! Margie C. Belcher > 1.
