Lessons I Learned from Granddaddy Brown

 Raymond T. Brown 1922-2011
  •  Kit-Kats and Snickers taste better cold.
  • Pancakes are an art form (no recipe can duplicate his).
  • Money isn't everything; generosity is.
  • Education isn't everything; biblical wisdom is.
  • Men have soap operas too (pronounced soap "opree"). His was The A-Team.
  • Sometimes you have to spin out of the driveway just to shake things up a bit.
  • When neighbors ask for help, drop everything and help them.
  • When a car breaks down, it takes three men to fix it: Two to stand, stare, and talk. One to work.
  • Keep your front door open to visitors and treat them like family.
  • When someone comes to visit you, feed them (even if they just ate).
  • Nothing beats sitting on the front porch, drinking Mammaw Brown's sweet tea.
  • No matter the reason or how much it costs, be there for your family.
