Mother's day

A conversation with my grandmother yesterday:

Grandmother o' Dix: I'm tired of this heck woman. (referring to my mother)
Mom o' Dix: I'm the best heck woman you'll ever have. You won't get another heck woman like me.
Grandmother o' Dix: I don't need another one either.

What a heck woman is, we're not sure of. If y'all know, can you let me in on the secret?

In other Mother's Day news, I guess the secret's out in town that I have four dogs at home - I got a free strawberry shortcake for Mother's Day at lunch. With no child in tow. Or dog either. Although I considered trying to sneak Angus in as a seeing-eye dog. It would work if I didn't wear my contacts or glasses.
