Show Notes

Betty Lou Long is affectionately known as “Grandma Great” in our house. I have so many fond memories of family gatherings and food at her house. Today, she shares about growing up in small town Iowa, how she met her husband in a hardware store, and the profound sense of gratitude she felt witnessing a New England autumn. Grandma also shares why family is so important to her and how she tried to instill faith in hers. This is a special episode that I hope you enjoy!

Listen to Grandma’s story now!

Stories Grandma Great shared:

  • Growing up in small town Iowa
  • Going to college in Des Moines, Iowa
  • Learning to drive after asking her dad if she could
  • Dealing with life during WWII
  • Meeting a boy who would become his her husband
  • How having children changed her faith
  • How playing the hymns comforts her
  • The Christmas routine they had
  • How the New England autumn impressed her
  • Why family is so important to her

Great quotes from Grandma Great:

I realized they needed to be well grounded and we needed to set an example for them as my parents had done for me.

I found sitting down and playing the hymns was very comforting to me.

Family is so important. When I see my family together, I’m so thankful for them.
