The girls enjoyed the chance to visit with their Grandma Gigi (Great Grandma Stoops) at her 95th birthday party. At 95, Grandma still enjoys her daily chocolate and is a serious contender in a game of Rook! Those things in mind, following are Billie Stoops' pearls of wisdom:
- Always set the table first so that when your husband comes home, he thinks dinner is almost ready.
- Eat a little chocolate every day. Eat your candy slowly so that it can last a long time.
- Always tithe and always budget. Wait to purchase something until you can pay for it. Save a little money each month and put it in a sock to use as mad money.
- Love someone the most when they seem unlovable.
- This too shall pass! Give it the water treatment! The more the merrier! NO is a beautiful word.
- Never pass up a game of Rook or a chance to have a piece of chocolate silk pie with a hot cup of coffee.
