Hello there! I created
grandma's house so I could be a
00:00:01.98\00:00:04.91
loving Christian
grandma to every child I meet.
00:00:04.94\00:00:07.40
You're going to meet some
real kids who come every week
00:00:07.44\00:00:10.44
for love and
Christian mentoring.
00:00:10.47\00:00:12.42
Many of them are hearing
about Jesus for the first time.
00:00:12.45\00:00:16.06
My hope and prayer is that
you will be inspired to open
00:00:16.09\00:00:19.66
your arms and heart to
your neighborhood children.
00:00:19.69\00:00:22.62
Welcome to Grandma's House!
00:00:22.65\00:00:24.22
Hi kids, I'm so glad
that you came over today.
00:00:44.67\00:00:47.42
Do you hear all the
excitement around here?
00:00:47.46\00:00:50.17
We're getting
ready for a dog wash.
00:00:50.21\00:00:52.57
Why don't you come
in and give us a hand!
00:00:52.61\00:00:55.70
Hey kids, come on
let's wash the dogs.
00:00:55.73\00:00:58.78
Sit!
00:01:16.81\00:01:17.78
Come on!
00:01:23.03\00:01:24.50
My dog loves baths!
00:01:31.86\00:01:32.83
He shaking on us!
00:01:41.53\00:01:42.50
Okay I got his leash!
00:01:59.27\00:02:00.68
Good boy, good
what ever you are!
00:02:26.42\00:02:29.26
Put it in there, put
your other one in there!
00:02:38.42\00:02:42.36
Does he bite? No! No!
He ain't going to bite!
00:02:47.83\00:02:49.16
There was this
big Golden Retriever,
00:02:49.19\00:02:51.55
that can only
fit her front paws in
00:02:51.59\00:02:53.88
and we had to move her
up and do the back paws
00:02:53.92\00:02:57.47
She wouldn't sit down in there!
00:02:57.50\00:02:59.89
Come here! come here! come here!
00:03:28.66\00:03:31.28
My dog does not like
baths, she just kept slipping
00:03:41.42\00:03:43.77
out of her collar.
00:03:43.81\00:03:45.16
When she saw that bath and
so we ended up picking her up
00:03:45.20\00:03:51.31
and putting her in.
00:03:51.34\00:03:53.22
The water was pretty
dirty by the end and the
00:04:16.45\00:04:21.37
color of a
really dirty mud puddle.
00:04:21.41\00:04:23.08
Wait, it's okay!
00:04:55.20\00:04:57.13
They are off after an escaping
dog, so while they are doing
00:05:07.88\00:05:12.28
that why don't you
and I go over to the barn.
00:05:12.32\00:05:14.35
I have a little something
over there are want show you.
00:05:14.39\00:05:16.52
Okay, come on!
00:05:16.55\00:05:18.41
Come on you guys, kids come on!
00:05:18.45\00:05:20.80
I have some cool things
over here are want to show you.
00:05:20.84\00:05:23.92
Things from the old days
that I really, really love.
00:05:23.95\00:05:27.00
Come on over here.
00:05:27.03\00:05:28.03
While we were washing
dogs awhile ago, do you have an
00:05:28.06\00:05:31.60
idea of what this is?
00:05:31.63\00:05:32.84
A spoon - it looks
like a big ladle doesn't it?
00:05:32.88\00:05:38.33
This is actually at
an old-time bathtub.
00:05:38.37\00:05:42.30
It looks like it's for
kids, they had some that were
00:05:42.33\00:05:44.83
longer and bigger,
for bigger people too.
00:05:44.86\00:05:47.29
But that is what it is.
00:05:47.33\00:05:48.75
Looks painful, very painful
- actually it looks cold.
00:05:48.79\00:05:53.51
Want to try it -
yeah, - have a wave.
00:05:53.55\00:05:55.81
Are you freezing - yeah!
00:05:55.84\00:06:01.58
Well you know part of the
way to get water in the tub,
00:06:01.61\00:06:04.85
have you ever seen one of these?
00:06:04.89\00:06:06.47
Do you know what these are?
It is a pump, an old water pump.
00:06:06.50\00:06:10.08
And you go like this and
this but before you could get
00:06:10.11\00:06:14.22
water to come out of it can
you guess which you had to do?
00:06:14.25\00:06:16.48
No - you had to have
water already and you would pour
00:06:16.51\00:06:21.88
it down the spout and the
water would start going down.
00:06:21.91\00:06:24.65
As soon is it got down a
little ways then you would have
00:06:24.68\00:06:26.78
to start pumping really fast.
00:06:26.81\00:06:28.64
That would start sucking
the water up out of the well.
00:06:28.67\00:06:30.62
And it would go
here or over here.
00:06:30.65\00:06:34.34
Take a look at this!
00:06:34.37\00:06:35.52
How'd you like to do
your laundry in this?
00:06:35.55\00:06:37.21
No - okay girls!
00:06:37.24\00:06:39.09
Look at these old
rollers, I don't know if this
00:06:39.12\00:06:41.23
old thing will turn.
00:06:41.27\00:06:42.37
What you do, on wash day
you would get a tub up here,
00:06:42.41\00:06:46.28
and put your clothes and there.
00:06:46.31\00:06:48.95
You rub them on a old scrub
board, so what do you think?
00:06:48.98\00:06:52.23
I has seen one of those
before - have you seen one
00:06:52.26\00:06:55.04
before - it has like little
lines on it - yeah the old
00:06:55.07\00:06:58.67
wash tub, wash
board and scrubbers.
00:06:58.70\00:07:00.97
Oh the old days
are fun to think about.
00:07:01.00\00:07:03.10
While we are still out
here messing around the barn I'd
00:07:03.13\00:07:08.41
like you guys to get
ready to write down my address.
00:07:08.44\00:07:10.81
I love to get
your letters so much.
00:07:10.84\00:07:13.33
You could tell me about
some old-fashioned things around
00:07:13.36\00:07:16.25
your house or maybe ask
your grandma or grandpa about
00:07:16.28\00:07:18.77
what they remember
from their childhood.
00:07:18.80\00:07:21.50
I would just love to
hear all those things.
00:07:21.53\00:07:24.41
So get a pencil and get
ready because they are going to
00:07:24.44\00:07:28.60
put my address on the
screen and you'll know where to
00:07:28.63\00:07:30.80
write to me, here it is!
00:07:30.83\00:07:33.28
Hey kids grandma Neil
would like to hear from you.
00:07:34.62\00:07:36.98
She loves to get pictures,
drawings and anything else
00:07:37.01\00:07:39.65
you may want to send her.
00:07:39.68\00:07:40.99
She also answers each one
of your letters so get your
00:07:41.02\00:07:43.42
pen ready and
write down her address.
00:07:43.45\00:07:45.35
It's been another wild
day at grandma's house.
00:08:18.50\00:08:21.55
I'll be ready for bed tonight.
00:08:21.58\00:08:23.67
But I haven't had this
much fun since yesterday.
00:08:23.70\00:08:27.54
We finally caught the last dog
and he got a really fine bath.
00:08:27.57\00:08:32.30
Now I can catch my breath
and I can tell you what I have
00:08:32.33\00:08:36.29
been thinking about.
00:08:36.32\00:08:37.51
I have been pondering on what
it was like when I was little.
00:08:37.54\00:08:41.84
I want to show you a
picture of myself at a house
00:08:41.87\00:08:44.81
called Miners Mansion.
00:08:44.84\00:08:46.01
I was about 4 years
old in this picture.
00:08:46.04\00:08:48.77
I remember only the
happy times we spent here,
00:08:48.80\00:08:51.63
it was a wonderful place.
00:08:51.66\00:08:53.52
My brothers and I would
play all day outside, and we
00:08:53.55\00:08:57.45
would wander
over the hills nearby.
00:08:57.48\00:08:59.46
Boy would we get
dirty, but we sure had fun.
00:08:59.49\00:09:02.90
When we first moved in
there was no running water.
00:09:02.93\00:09:06.28
So dad used milk cans to
bring water home from the river.
00:09:06.31\00:09:10.07
Every Friday evening mom
will get out the big, round
00:09:10.10\00:09:13.83
washtub and fill it
part way with river water.
00:09:13.86\00:09:17.25
Then she would heat a big
kettle of water on the old
00:09:17.28\00:09:20.30
wood cook stove.
00:09:20.33\00:09:21.60
When it was ready she would
pour enough hot water in the
00:09:21.63\00:09:24.43
tub to make it
just right for a bath.
00:09:24.46\00:09:26.68
Mike got his bath first
because he was the littlest,
00:09:26.71\00:09:29.96
then it was my turn.
00:09:29.99\00:09:31.76
Oh it felt so good to be clean.
00:09:31.79\00:09:34.83
But the best part of
the day was after supper,
00:09:34.86\00:09:38.78
just before the sun
was going down it seems
00:09:38.81\00:09:42.51
like the world slows down.
00:09:42.54\00:09:44.38
Everything gets quiet waiting
for the stars to come out.
00:09:44.41\00:09:48.05
That is when we would have
a special sundown worship to
00:09:48.08\00:09:51.65
welcome in the Sabbath.
00:09:51.68\00:09:53.06
We would gather in our
living room and I would sit on
00:09:53.09\00:09:56.19
the couch with my
legs sticking straight out.
00:09:56.22\00:09:58.45
Because they
couldn't touch the floor.
00:09:58.48\00:10:00.24
Mama would read us a
story from the Bible,
00:10:00.27\00:10:02.92
I loved to hear her read.
00:10:02.95\00:10:05.38
Then we would sing
Day Is Dying in the West,
00:10:05.41\00:10:09.41
while the sun slipped away
and everything was peaceful.
00:10:09.44\00:10:13.13
I still love that old song.
00:10:13.16\00:10:16.11
Would you like me
to sing it to you?
00:10:16.14\00:10:18.87
I won't sing it out
loud for anybody but you.
00:10:18.90\00:10:22.51
Because my voice is not so
good, but I want you to learn
00:10:22.54\00:10:25.84
it and I know you
won't make fun of me.
00:10:25.87\00:10:28.43
Listen!
00:10:28.46\00:10:30.09
Day is dying in the West.
00:10:30.12\00:10:35.80
Heaven is
touching earth with rest.
00:10:35.83\00:10:41.28
Wait and
worship while the night,
00:10:41.31\00:10:46.55
set your evening lamp to light.
00:10:46.58\00:10:51.27
Through all the sky.
00:10:51.30\00:10:55.79
Holy! Holy! Holy!
00:10:55.82\00:11:02.12
Lord God of hosts,
00:11:02.15\00:11:06.57
heaven and earth
are full of Thee,
00:11:06.60\00:11:11.25
Heaven and Earth
are praising Thee,
00:11:11.28\00:11:15.94
Oh Lord most high.
00:11:15.97\00:11:21.15
I wish I lived right next
door to you, but even though
00:11:21.18\00:11:26.18
we are miles apart, we
can stay close at heart.
00:11:26.21\00:11:28.93
And you know what else,
God wants to be with us too.
00:11:28.96\00:11:32.18
He wants that so much that
He set aside everything else He
00:11:32.21\00:11:36.61
does just to spend special
alone time with you and me.
00:11:36.64\00:11:41.34
That is why our family
worship on Friday night was so
00:11:41.37\00:11:45.00
special, it was
because God was there.
00:11:45.03\00:11:48.43
So here's what we can do,
every Friday evening when the
00:11:48.46\00:11:52.17
sun goes down find a special
quite place to be with God
00:11:52.20\00:11:55.96
and grandma in your heart.
00:11:55.99\00:11:57.95
And I will do the same thing.
00:11:57.98\00:11:59.71
We'll sing that
song and you'll know
00:11:59.74\00:12:02.42
I'm doing the same thing.
00:12:02.45\00:12:03.95
And God is right there
with us, it will be the 3 of us.
00:12:03.98\00:12:08.14
We'll become best
friends and always keep this
00:12:08.17\00:12:11.42
promise at the beginning of
God's time with us, the Sabbath.
00:12:11.45\00:12:14.89
After we sing I'll pray
for you, and I will be counting
00:12:14.92\00:12:18.77
on you to pray for me.
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.51
God will link is together and
hold us so close to His heart.
00:12:20.54\00:12:24.25
Let's start this
very Friday night.
00:12:24.28\00:12:26.60
It makes me so glad to
know that we will do this every
00:12:26.63\00:12:30.48
week, I can hardly wait.
00:12:30.51\00:12:32.74
I have to say goodbye now,
but don't forget how special
00:12:32.77\00:12:37.67
you are to me and
how much I love you and
00:12:37.70\00:12:40.82
want to spend time with you.
00:12:40.85\00:12:42.21
God loves you even more,
come back soon won't you?
00:12:42.24\00:12:46.98
We washed a bunch of dogs.
00:12:48.62\00:12:50.79
It was pretty funny to
see all the dogs and the tubs.
00:12:50.82\00:12:53.86
The dogs smelled good but
their breath was just horrible.
00:12:53.89\00:12:58.97
There was one big dog
that was really hairy and was
00:12:59.00\00:13:04.22
probably hard to
wash, I didn't wash it.
00:13:04.25\00:13:06.40
We only had like two
dogs run a way from us.
00:13:07.02\00:13:09.25
My dog got loose
about 5, 6 times.
00:13:09.28\00:13:13.30
We really enjoyed it,
she was running around wet,
00:13:13.33\00:13:16.18
I knew she would run away.
00:13:16.21\00:13:17.83
There were some dogs that
were pretty wild, one of them
00:13:17.86\00:13:20.90
drug my brother around the yard.
00:13:20.93\00:13:23.36
It gave him a pretty big bruise.
00:13:23.39\00:13:25.26
I just washed my dog and a
little dog about this tall, that
00:13:25.29\00:13:30.62
was sort of hairy
like that other one.
00:13:30.65\00:13:33.85
We got really wet and fur
all over us because they shook
00:13:33.88\00:13:39.66
all over us and
they were shedding.
00:13:39.69\00:13:41.24
I wasn't really scared because
they all looked friendly.
00:13:41.27\00:13:44.85
I think they got
a pretty good bath.
00:13:44.88\00:13:48.04
