Welcome to Grandma’s House. Serving Up Smiles & Memories. Toys, Nostalgia & The Little Things. XOXO
What is your favorite Mexican dish? I usually order Chile Rellenos at a restaurant. There is a vendor at the swap meet who has an amazing array of 🧲 magnets from Mexico. Aren’t the tiny food dishes cute. They are a great addition to my collection. What do you order at a Mexican Restaurant?

Have you ever gone into @Target for one thing and come out with a cart full? That happened to me last night. I went in for some tiny suitcase ornaments. Which they did NOT have. And… came out with a cart full. 🤪 THEN - I had to order the ornaments online when I got home. But Grandma Barbie did get a nice new pet. And I’ve got a fun project for my husband to do. Let’s keep it a secret till we get back from vacation. 🤫 shhh… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Remember this song? 🎶 “When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs. When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile. Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well
Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine 🎶
