A Conversation with MaMaw

Since I didn't figure MaMaw would like to blog, I decided to have Macy interview her.  The interview follows.

Macy:  I have a few questions for you.

MaMaw:  I don't remember.

Macy:  Our first question comes from Kristin.  Where was your first vacation, and who all went?

MaMaw:  To Nashville the September before I got married in December.

Aunt Faye:  (Attempts to correct.  Is probably right.  Lets Mother win this one.  It is her birthday after all.)

Macy:  Where was your favorite vacation?

Jeffrey:  Probably with JJ.

MaMaw:  All of them

Andrea:  That's a MaMaw answer!

Macy:  Where is the farthest you have travelled?

MaMaw:  Uruguay

Macy:  Meredith asks, What was the airport like the first time you went to New York City?

MaMaw:  So big I was afraid to get out of the airport.

Lynn:  I remember seeing a nun for the first time.

MaMaw:  I had seen nuns before at Mother Frances hospital.

Macy:  What is the largest city you have visited?

MaMaw:  We never took pictures of the population signs, just the state signs.

Aunt Faye:  Chicago

Macy:  Did you ever take your mother anywhere?

MaMaw:  Yes, several times.

Macy:  Meredith asks have you visited any memorable museums?

MaMaw:  The most interesting museum I ever remember was in Chicago.  It had three stories of stuff.

Macy:  In New York, we will be shopping on Fifth Avenue.  What is your favorite store you have shopped?  Macy's?

MaMaw:  Miami Saks Fifth Avenue

Macy:  We will be seeing The Lion King.  What is your favorite play?

MaMaw:  Big River

MaMaw leaves.

For several minutes.

She's still gone.

We're waiting.

Someone retrieves MaMaw and the interview resumes.

Macy:  We will see the Statue of Liberty.  Have you ever seen any other famous statues?

MaMaw:  Christ of the Ozarks,  (She has also seen the Christ statue in Rio de Janeiro.)

Macy:  What do you think will be your favorite thing in New York City?

MaMaw:  All of it.

Andrea:  Another MaMaw answer.

Macy:  How many vacation do you think you have taken?

MaMaw:  Grandaddy always said he never missed a day of milking.  But Joe pointed out he took a vacation every year.  So I guess one a year.

Macy:  Have you ever travelled outside the United States?

MaMaw:  I've been to Mexico over the Rio Grande in a boat pulled by a rope, I've been to Canada through a tunnel.

Macy:  What was the worst meal you have ever had on vacation?

MaMaw:  Everybody knows that.  The Farmhouse in Americus, Georgia near President Carter's hometown.

Macy:  How old should you be before you fly to New York City alone?

MaMaw:  You should never go alone.  Always have someone with you.

Macy:  Is there any place you haven't been that you would like to visit?

MaMaw:  Not by myself.

Macy:  Do you like the song, "The Green Grass Grows All Around?"

MaMaw:  Yes!  But just once every other year.
