		<title>Goodbye</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As part of my two week break from blogging, I spent three days at a monastery called, St. Gregory&#8217;s Abbey in Three Rivers, Michigan.  There is almost no quieter place on earth than spending time in the company of monks.
It was just what I needed.
From the moment I arrived until the minute I left, I found [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflecting on &#8220;Grandma&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is an anniversary of sorts for My Grandma Was Green.  I have been writing this blog for exactly three months and have managed to see my way through twelve Grandma Challenges.  
It is time for me to pause.
The chair in the picture is my favorite reading chair.  It is tucked into a corner in my living room [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Funky Pair of Boots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I was at a fun little street fair today.  Tucked in amongst the various art and jewelry booths were a variety of new and used clothing booths.  I spotted a funky little pair of cowboy boots at a booth showcasing goods from a local resale shop called Imagination Creations.  They were only $25.00 and I would [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Grim Reaper Thumb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I described learning to hang dry my clothes as the &#8220;classic Grandma Challenge,&#8221; but I think I may have been mistaken.  In my post about laundry I wrote that my Grandma Pickies&#8217; clothesline stood as strong as ever and ready to use.  I was wrong.  
While visiting my Grandpa last week, I decided to take a walk to the side of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three Minutes of Local &#8220;Fame&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to a local radio show a few weeks ago and a couple of hosts from a local television show called Take Five and Company were on.  They were promoting their program because it was changing from an afternoon show to a morning show.  At the end of the segment, the hosts from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Laundry Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday is laundry day at my house. 
I have not always devoted a whole day to the task of laundry.  I used to do a load here and and a load there.  Consequently, it seemed there was always laundry to do.  After years of doing laundry this way, I found myself wondering if there was a better [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tale of Take Out Pizza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a hot and sticky Wednesday afternoon in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  The day started out refreshingly cool until summer came knocking again.  I thought Labor Day magically signaled the end of long, hot days.  By mid-afternoon I felt worn down from the rising temperatures and the normal rush of my day.   
Despite my feelings, I told my son I would bake [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did Your Grandma Use A Handkerchief?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a cold going around our house right now.  I thought I was going to avoid getting it but no such luck.  I took some medicine which temporarily relieved my symptoms but now I feel jittery.  I was about to give up on writing until I realized I could ask another good What Would Grandma Do? question.
In my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Did Your Grandma Swipe Her Eggs?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shortly before I launched my blog, I came across a wonderful memoir called, Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression by Mildred Armstrong Kalish.  It was rated &#8220;one of the 10 best books of the year&#8221; by the New York Times Book Review in 2007.  
I love reading biographies [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Have Grandma Hair!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a long history of wrestling with my hair and forcing it to submit to a particular style by almost any means possible.  I am not an &#8220;au naturel&#8221; kind of girl.  
It all started back in 7th grade when I got my first spiral perm.  Yes, I came of age in the late 1980&#8217;s when [...]]]></description>
