00:01 Hello there! I created grandma's house so I could be a
00:04 loving Christian grandma to every child I meet.
00:07 You're going to meet some real kids who come every week
00:10 for love and Christian mentoring.
00:12 Many of them are hearing about Jesus for the first time.
00:16 My hope and prayer is that you will be inspired to open
00:19 your arms and heart to your neighborhood children.
00:22 Welcome to Grandma's House!
00:44 Hi kids, I'm so glad that you came over today.
00:47 Do you hear all the excitement around here?
00:50 We're getting ready for a dog wash.
00:52 Why don't you come in and give us a hand!
00:55 Hey kids, come on let's wash the dogs.
01:16 Sit!
01:23 Come on!
01:31 My dog loves baths!
01:41 He shaking on us!
01:59 Okay I got his leash!
02:26 Good boy, good what ever you are!
02:38 Put it in there, put your other one in there!
02:47 Does he bite? No! No! He ain't going to bite!
02:49 There was this big Golden Retriever,
02:51 that can only fit her front paws in
02:53 and we had to move her up and do the back paws
02:57 She wouldn't sit down in there!
03:28 Come here! come here! come here!
03:41 My dog does not like baths, she just kept slipping
03:43 out of her collar.
03:45 When she saw that bath and so we ended up picking her up
03:51 and putting her in.
04:16 The water was pretty dirty by the end and the
04:21 color of a really dirty mud puddle.
04:55 Wait, it's okay!
05:07 They are off after an escaping dog, so while they are doing
05:12 that why don't you and I go over to the barn.
05:14 I have a little something over there are want show you.
05:16 Okay, come on!
05:18 Come on you guys, kids come on!
05:20 I have some cool things over here are want to show you.
05:23 Things from the old days that I really, really love.
05:27 Come on over here.
05:28 While we were washing dogs awhile ago, do you have an
05:31 idea of what this is?
05:32 A spoon - it looks like a big ladle doesn't it?
05:38 This is actually at an old-time bathtub.
05:42 It looks like it's for kids, they had some that were
05:44 longer and bigger, for bigger people too.
05:47 But that is what it is.
05:48 Looks painful, very painful - actually it looks cold.
05:53 Want to try it - yeah, - have a wave.
05:55 Are you freezing - yeah!
06:01 Well you know part of the way to get water in the tub,
06:04 have you ever seen one of these?
06:06 Do you know what these are? It is a pump, an old water pump.
06:10 And you go like this and this but before you could get
06:14 water to come out of it can you guess which you had to do?
06:16 No - you had to have water already and you would pour
06:21 it down the spout and the water would start going down.
06:24 As soon is it got down a little ways then you would have
06:26 to start pumping really fast.
06:28 That would start sucking the water up out of the well.
06:30 And it would go here or over here.
06:34 Take a look at this!
06:35 How'd you like to do your laundry in this?
06:37 No - okay girls!
06:39 Look at these old rollers, I don't know if this
06:41 old thing will turn.
06:42 What you do, on wash day you would get a tub up here,
06:46 and put your clothes and there.
06:48 You rub them on a old scrub board, so what do you think?
06:52 I has seen one of those before - have you seen one
06:55 before - it has like little lines on it - yeah the old
06:58 wash tub, wash board and scrubbers.
07:01 Oh the old days are fun to think about.
07:03 While we are still out here messing around the barn I'd
07:08 like you guys to get ready to write down my address.
07:10 I love to get your letters so much.
07:13 You could tell me about some old-fashioned things around
07:16 your house or maybe ask your grandma or grandpa about
07:18 what they remember from their childhood.
07:21 I would just love to hear all those things.
07:24 So get a pencil and get ready because they are going to
07:28 put my address on the screen and you'll know where to
07:30 write to me, here it is!
07:34 Hey kids grandma Neil would like to hear from you.
07:37 She loves to get pictures, drawings and anything else
07:39 you may want to send her.
07:41 She also answers each one of your letters so get your
07:43 pen ready and write down her address.
08:18 It's been another wild day at grandma's house.
08:21 I'll be ready for bed tonight.
08:23 But I haven't had this much fun since yesterday.
08:27 We finally caught the last dog and he got a really fine bath.
08:32 Now I can catch my breath and I can tell you what I have
08:36 been thinking about.
08:37 I have been pondering on what it was like when I was little.
08:41 I want to show you a picture of myself at a house
08:44 called Miners Mansion.
08:46 I was about 4 years old in this picture.
08:48 I remember only the happy times we spent here,
08:51 it was a wonderful place.
08:53 My brothers and I would play all day outside, and we
08:57 would wander over the hills nearby.
08:59 Boy would we get dirty, but we sure had fun.
09:02 When we first moved in there was no running water.
09:06 So dad used milk cans to bring water home from the river.
09:10 Every Friday evening mom will get out the big, round
09:13 washtub and fill it part way with river water.
09:17 Then she would heat a big kettle of water on the old
09:20 wood cook stove.
09:21 When it was ready she would pour enough hot water in the
09:24 tub to make it just right for a bath.
09:26 Mike got his bath first because he was the littlest,
09:29 then it was my turn.
09:31 Oh it felt so good to be clean.
09:34 But the best part of the day was after supper,
09:38 just before the sun was going down it seems
09:42 like the world slows down.
09:44 Everything gets quiet waiting for the stars to come out.
09:48 That is when we would have a special sundown worship to
09:51 welcome in the Sabbath.
09:53 We would gather in our living room and I would sit on
09:56 the couch with my legs sticking straight out.
09:58 Because they couldn't touch the floor.
10:00 Mama would read us a story from the Bible,
10:02 I loved to hear her read.
10:05 Then we would sing Day Is Dying in the West,
10:09 while the sun slipped away and everything was peaceful.
10:13 I still love that old song.
10:16 Would you like me to sing it to you?
10:18 I won't sing it out loud for anybody but you.
10:22 Because my voice is not so good, but I want you to learn
10:25 it and I know you won't make fun of me.
10:28 Listen!
10:30 Day is dying in the West.
10:35 Heaven is touching earth with rest.
10:41 Wait and worship while the night,
10:46 set your evening lamp to light.
10:51 Through all the sky.
10:55 Holy! Holy! Holy!
11:02 Lord God of hosts,
11:06 heaven and earth are full of Thee,
11:11 Heaven and Earth are praising Thee,
11:15 Oh Lord most high.
11:21 I wish I lived right next door to you, but even though
11:26 we are miles apart, we can stay close at heart.
11:28 And you know what else, God wants to be with us too.
11:32 He wants that so much that He set aside everything else He
11:36 does just to spend special alone time with you and me.
11:41 That is why our family worship on Friday night was so
11:45 special, it was because God was there.
11:48 So here's what we can do, every Friday evening when the
11:52 sun goes down find a special quite place to be with God
11:55 and grandma in your heart.
11:57 And I will do the same thing.
11:59 We'll sing that song and you'll know
12:02 I'm doing the same thing.
12:03 And God is right there with us, it will be the 3 of us.
12:08 We'll become best friends and always keep this
12:11 promise at the beginning of God's time with us, the Sabbath.
12:14 After we sing I'll pray for you, and I will be counting
12:18 on you to pray for me.
12:20 God will link is together and hold us so close to His heart.
12:24 Let's start this very Friday night.
12:26 It makes me so glad to know that we will do this every
12:30 week, I can hardly wait.
12:32 I have to say goodbye now, but don't forget how special
12:37 you are to me and how much I love you and
12:40 want to spend time with you.
12:42 God loves you even more, come back soon won't you?
12:48 We washed a bunch of dogs.
12:50 It was pretty funny to see all the dogs and the tubs.
12:53 The dogs smelled good but their breath was just horrible.
12:59 There was one big dog that was really hairy and was
13:04 probably hard to wash, I didn't wash it.
13:07 We only had like two dogs run a way from us.
13:09 My dog got loose about 5, 6 times.
13:13 We really enjoyed it, she was running around wet,
13:16 I knew she would run away.
13:17 There were some dogs that were pretty wild, one of them
13:20 drug my brother around the yard.
13:23 It gave him a pretty big bruise.
13:25 I just washed my dog and a little dog about this tall, that
13:30 was sort of hairy like that other one.
13:33 We got really wet and fur all over us because they shook
13:39 all over us and they were shedding.
13:41 I wasn't really scared because they all looked friendly.
13:44 I think they got a pretty good bath.
