Welcome to Grandma's House.
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.26
The time we spend together
is one Grandma's attempt
00:00:03.30\00:00:06.34
to love and
bless in Jesus' name.
00:00:06.37\00:00:08.59
The kids you see are
not actors just real kids
00:00:08.63\00:00:11.50
in a real
neighborhood. Like any other.
00:00:11.53\00:00:13.69
They are the joy of my
life, especially when I see
00:00:13.73\00:00:17.15
the little seeds I
plant begin to sprout.
00:00:17.18\00:00:19.62
If you have an
empty place in your heart
00:00:19.66\00:00:22.09
please stay. Spend a little time
00:00:22.12\00:00:24.23
at Grandma's House.
00:00:24.26\00:00:25.23
This is Grandma's House.
00:00:38.62\00:00:41.62
Hi there grand
kids. I am so happy
00:00:43.15\00:00:46.01
every time you join me.
I'm especially glad today
00:00:46.05\00:00:48.61
because we're in a
different place today.
00:00:48.64\00:00:50.73
I've brought you all
the way out here to meet
00:00:50.76\00:00:53.38
my grand-daughter,
Katie and her horse, Jenny.
00:00:53.42\00:00:56.01
Hi Katie. Hi grandma.
00:00:56.04\00:00:57.90
How are you doing today? Good.
00:00:58.84\00:01:01.03
And introduce
Jenny to all these kids.
00:01:01.07\00:01:04.00
This is Jenny.
Isn't she a sweetheart?
00:01:04.04\00:01:06.94
Yeah. Now, what do we do
00:01:07.81\00:01:09.71
with all this buckets
that I picked out here
00:01:09.75\00:01:12.73
and I don't know
what's in it and what is for.
00:01:12.76\00:01:14.16
Ok, well. Do you
want me to hold it?
00:01:14.19\00:01:16.39
Sure. If you can take that
00:01:16.42\00:01:18.06
I can take this. I know she is
00:01:18.10\00:01:19.67
sniffing for
treats, don't you know?
00:01:19.71\00:01:21.51
Let's see.
00:01:21.54\00:01:22.51
We can start
with the Curry Comb.
00:01:22.52\00:01:23.49
It's a piece of...
pretty much rubber and it has
00:01:23.50\00:01:26.55
a lot of little
bristles that you run across
00:01:26.58\00:01:29.73
the horse's neck and
shoulders. So this is her comb?
00:01:29.76\00:01:32.88
Well, kind of. She
has a comb for her body
00:01:32.91\00:01:35.56
and a comb for
her mane and tail.
00:01:35.59\00:01:36.96
Oh, really. Yes.
00:01:36.99\00:01:38.00
Ok. And this one you actually go
00:01:38.04\00:01:39.87
in circles, I'll show you. Ok.
00:01:39.90\00:01:41.71
It goes all the way around.
00:01:44.00\00:01:45.68
And usually horses
don't agree with it very much,
00:01:46.84\00:01:49.16
but she's doing pretty good.
00:01:49.19\00:01:50.51
And it takes off a
lot of excess hair.
00:01:53.02\00:01:55.65
Ok. Do you do that every day?
00:01:58.12\00:02:01.18
How often do
you have to do that?
00:02:01.22\00:02:02.65
Hum, usually I do it
twice a day but sometimes
00:02:02.69\00:02:06.73
I can do it only once. Ok.
00:02:06.76\00:02:08.38
What else do you have
to do to take care of her?
00:02:08.42\00:02:10.73
Here's a normal comb.
00:02:10.76\00:02:12.78
You use a normal comb for her?
00:02:12.82\00:02:14.78
Yes, a lot of us have it for our
hair but horses need a huge one
00:02:14.82\00:02:20.57
'cause they have
so much hair. Yes.
00:02:20.60\00:02:23.13
So, this... Is it
made for her mane?
00:02:23.16\00:02:25.62
Yes, is made for her.
And it's a part of the body
00:02:25.66\00:02:27.57
that has... at
least really long hair.
00:02:27.60\00:02:32.25
Ok.
00:02:32.28\00:02:33.25
So, you pretty much
pressure like you would
00:02:33.26\00:02:35.77
use a normal comb. Oh, cool.
00:02:35.80\00:02:37.47
She let's me know
she wants another treat.
00:02:38.23\00:02:40.66
And then... What
else is in there?
00:02:40.69\00:02:44.19
It's a brush. Ok.
00:02:44.22\00:02:45.74
It's a normal brush.
00:02:45.77\00:02:47.22
Kind like a baby
brush Is it soft?
00:02:47.26\00:02:50.37
They have softer ones
and they have hard ones.
00:02:50.41\00:02:53.34
Which one does Jenny like?
00:02:53.37\00:02:55.19
Jenny likes the soft
ones 'cause she's a big baby.
00:02:55.23\00:02:57.64
Oh. A big baby.
00:02:57.67\00:02:58.73
Yeah, she is.
00:02:58.77\00:02:59.78
She has the softest nose in
the world I'll tell you that.
00:02:59.82\00:03:02.71
She's a doll.
00:03:02.74\00:03:04.52
And horses love to
have their heads scratched.
00:03:06.03\00:03:08.62
They do. It's like...
00:03:08.65\00:03:10.54
It's like when
you scratch a cat.
00:03:10.58\00:03:12.63
You know they
like to be scratched up
00:03:12.66\00:03:14.68
between the ears too. Yeah.
00:03:14.71\00:03:16.34
And this pretty much
takes off all the hair
00:03:16.37\00:03:19.01
that the curry comb can get.
00:03:19.04\00:03:20.43
So wonderful.
00:03:20.46\00:03:22.81
Or dirt too.
00:03:22.85\00:03:25.13
Dirt, huh... She
hasn't get dirty does she.
00:03:25.17\00:03:28.65
Oh, if only she didn't.
If only you didn't, huh?
00:03:28.68\00:03:32.13
She likes playing in
the mud. Yes she does.
00:03:32.16\00:03:34.27
And what about
feeding? Giving her water
00:03:34.30\00:03:36.38
and things like that.
00:03:36.41\00:03:37.38
Well,
there's... We have a bucket
00:03:37.39\00:03:40.77
that refills itself. Oh.
00:03:40.80\00:03:42.17
We also have to clean it out.
00:03:42.21\00:03:43.51
And there get like little
pieces of brush in it and stuff.
00:03:43.55\00:03:46.63
So, usually I dump
it out every other day.
00:03:46.66\00:03:50.65
And I clean it out
every other time I do it.
00:03:50.68\00:03:54.60
Excellent. So, she
always has fresh water.
00:03:54.64\00:03:57.21
Yes.
00:03:57.24\00:03:58.21
And does she just
eat the pasture all day
00:03:58.22\00:03:59.50
or do you give her
something else besides.
00:03:59.54\00:04:01.18
I give her oats
and a flick of hay.
00:04:01.21\00:04:03.40
Usually I give her
something called senior pallets
00:04:03.44\00:04:07.28
They're for
weight gaining for horses
00:04:07.31\00:04:09.54
and for older horses.
00:04:09.57\00:04:10.54
Ok, now why does she
need to take something
00:04:10.55\00:04:12.04
for gaining weight?
00:04:12.07\00:04:13.19
Because when we got
her she was a bag of bones.
00:04:13.23\00:04:16.81
Yes, I remember she was.
00:04:16.84\00:04:18.70
But now she's a
big chubby buddy.
00:04:19.34\00:04:21.87
Yes. I think
she's pretty happy here.
00:04:22.84\00:04:25.04
Yes. But, along with feeding
00:04:25.07\00:04:27.23
you also have to have all
the medicines that go with it.
00:04:27.26\00:04:30.11
Oh, she has to
have medicines too.
00:04:30.14\00:04:31.57
Yes. Actually...
00:04:31.60\00:04:32.57
Do you give her the medicines
or you are taking her to a vet.
00:04:32.58\00:04:34.59
Some you can, like mormine.
00:04:34.62\00:04:36.51
Ok. You do it yourself.
00:04:36.54\00:04:38.40
Oh really. I can
actually show you.
00:04:38.43\00:04:39.81
Are you gonna do this?
00:04:39.84\00:04:40.81
Yeah.
00:04:40.82\00:04:41.79
Is she gonna bite
you? No, I hope not.
00:04:41.80\00:04:44.25
What... goes right in the mouth.
00:04:45.21\00:04:47.73
Yep.
00:04:47.76\00:04:48.73
She doesn't like
it very much but...
00:04:48.74\00:04:50.36
She won't spit at me, will she?
00:04:50.39\00:04:52.24
No.
00:04:52.27\00:04:53.24
Oh... It's very messy.
00:04:54.20\00:04:56.77
Oh, you love it,
don't you Jenny baby?
00:05:00.29\00:05:03.31
A little bit more.
00:05:03.34\00:05:04.57
Yum, yum, yum.
00:05:04.60\00:05:06.08
And that is how a horse
gets their morming medicine.
00:05:06.12\00:05:09.89
Well, you were a good girl.
00:05:09.92\00:05:11.88
Oh, look at her
wrinkle her nose.
00:05:12.02\00:05:14.23
Would you like some goodie now?
00:05:14.26\00:05:16.11
Will take the
taste away. Oh, my...
00:05:16.14\00:05:17.96
Jenny... Here.
00:05:20.80\00:05:22.62
No, you just ruined your
whole appetite, didn't it.
00:05:22.66\00:05:25.12
No, you want some good.
00:05:25.15\00:05:26.64
No.
00:05:27.35\00:05:28.32
Oh, she's gonna
be mad for a while
00:05:32.31\00:05:35.76
'cause this really
tastes icky apparently.
00:05:35.80\00:05:38.45
Yes. Horses
usually don't do that
00:05:38.48\00:05:40.62
unless they have a
bad taste in their mouth,
00:05:40.66\00:05:42.59
or they have gas.
00:05:42.62\00:05:45.38
Well, either way I
think she wanna stay away
00:05:45.42\00:05:47.63
from her a little bit.
00:05:47.66\00:05:48.84
Oh, Katie I wanna thank you
so much for letting us come out
00:05:49.86\00:05:52.98
and see your horse. No problem.
00:05:53.01\00:05:55.26
Oh... She loves all the company.
00:05:55.29\00:05:57.51
Oh, I bet she does.
00:05:57.54\00:05:58.62
Well, earlier today I was in
at the house, Grandma's House
00:05:59.31\00:06:02.82
and you know we
can always have a horse
00:06:02.85\00:06:05.18
in our backyard or
maybe a dog, maybe you live
00:06:05.22\00:06:07.89
in an apartment.
So, we were making
00:06:07.92\00:06:10.26
pets so that you can
take with you everywhere.
00:06:10.30\00:06:11.82
Well, not exactly everywhere,
but we were making pet rocks.
00:06:11.86\00:06:17.83
You wanna see how
to do it? Come on.
00:06:17.86\00:06:20.83
Come on Jenny.
00:06:21.86\00:06:23.14
Hey, would you girls
like to try making a pet rock?
00:06:24.40\00:06:26.96
Yeah. How about you guys?
00:06:26.99\00:06:29.02
You wanna see
too? Come on in close,
00:06:29.06\00:06:31.03
we'll show you how.
00:06:31.06\00:06:32.03
Just get a plain
ordinary rock girls and pick out
00:06:32.06\00:06:36.14
the colors of
your favorite colors.
00:06:36.17\00:06:38.22
We'll start making a
rock that looks like a pet.
00:06:38.26\00:06:40.81
Can I start pouring
it. Sure, just little bits
00:06:40.84\00:06:42.99
of different colors.
00:06:43.02\00:06:44.06
Black, we could get black dog.
00:06:58.35\00:07:01.27
Pretty colors.
00:07:15.80\00:07:16.77
I made blue, pink and red.
00:07:40.45\00:07:42.54
Well, aren't these great rocks?
00:07:56.65\00:07:58.09
They make
wonderful pets. We could just
00:07:58.13\00:08:00.87
stick them in our pockets
and take them almost any place.
00:08:00.91\00:08:03.17
Well, wasn't that fun?
I hope you had a good time
00:08:05.94\00:08:08.23
making the pet rocks.
You know, you can make
00:08:08.26\00:08:10.60
almost anything out of a rock.
00:08:10.63\00:08:12.13
Have you ever done that Katie?
00:08:12.16\00:08:13.63
No. No?
00:08:13.66\00:08:14.67
Well, she's got real pets.
00:08:14.71\00:08:15.99
What other pets do
you have around here?
00:08:16.03\00:08:18.94
I have one rabbit, that
actually lives in a cage.
00:08:18.98\00:08:21.86
Yes. Not inhumanly.
00:08:21.89\00:08:25.56
And we have two yard bunnies
00:08:27.58\00:08:31.13
named Snuggles and Buddy.
00:08:31.16\00:08:34.64
And I forgot to
mention, our cage bunny's name
00:08:34.68\00:08:38.12
is Reese's. Reese's?
00:08:38.15\00:08:40.22
Yes, like a
Reese's peanut butter cup.
00:08:40.26\00:08:42.34
And we have a cat named Penguin.
00:08:43.36\00:08:45.92
Oh...
00:08:45.95\00:08:47.43
How did you get all those pets?
00:08:47.47\00:08:49.71
Well, Reese's found us,
we bought Snuggles and Buddy
00:08:49.75\00:08:54.33
and Penguin found us.
00:08:54.36\00:08:58.02
Yeah, she just showed up.
00:08:58.05\00:09:00.08
Yes.
00:09:00.11\00:09:01.08
Well, I'll tell you,
there's nothing in the world
00:09:01.09\00:09:02.76
more fun than
taking care of a pet.
00:09:02.79\00:09:04.67
You know I'd really
like to hear about your pets.
00:09:04.71\00:09:07.70
I'd like you to write
to me, I would like for you
00:09:07.73\00:09:10.63
to draw pictures of your
pets or maybe take a picture
00:09:10.67\00:09:13.54
with you and your pet.
00:09:13.57\00:09:14.71
I just love getting
letters, you know I do.
00:09:14.75\00:09:17.57
Anyway here's my address:
00:09:17.60\00:09:20.19
Hey kids, Grandma Neil
would love to hear from you.
00:09:21.56\00:09:24.24
She loves to get pictures,
drawings and anything else
00:09:24.27\00:09:26.92
you may want to send her.
00:09:26.95\00:09:28.20
She also answers
each one of your letters
00:09:28.24\00:09:30.34
so get your pen ready and
write down her address, ok?
00:09:30.37\00:09:33.22
If you want to write
her a letter address it
00:09:33.25\00:09:36.09
to Grandma's House P.O. Box 220
00:09:36.12\00:09:39.42
West Frankfort IL 62896 U.S.A.
00:09:39.58\00:09:43.55
That's Grandma's
House P.O. Box 220
00:09:43.58\00:09:46.97
West Frankfort IL 62896 U.S.A.
00:09:47.00\00:09:50.25
Grandma also
loves to get e-mails
00:09:50.28\00:09:53.52
at grandma@3abn. org
00:09:53.55\00:09:57.17
That's Grandma at
3ABN, that's the number 3
00:09:57.21\00:09:59.85
and the letters ABN.org
00:09:59.88\00:10:02.75
She'd love to hear from you.
00:10:02.79\00:10:04.17
Bless the peace and the children
00:10:05.50\00:10:09.61
for in this world
they have no voice,
00:10:09.65\00:10:13.73
they have no choice.
00:10:13.76\00:10:16.46
That's an old Grandma's song.
00:10:16.50\00:10:19.12
It's really a prayer for
the people and animals who
00:10:19.16\00:10:22.21
have no power in this world.
00:10:22.24\00:10:23.66
There's always somebody
telling them what to do.
00:10:23.70\00:10:27.29
You might feel
that way too sometimes?
00:10:27.32\00:10:30.76
At your age it can
get really frustrating.
00:10:30.79\00:10:34.20
But did you know
there are beings that have
00:10:34.23\00:10:37.31
far less power than you do?
00:10:37.34\00:10:39.59
They see you as someone
very big and very powerful
00:10:39.63\00:10:43.67
and very smart.
They think you are so
00:10:43.70\00:10:47.38
wonderful you could even
make food and water appear.
00:10:47.42\00:10:50.57
I'm talking
about pets of course.
00:10:50.60\00:10:53.48
And whether they
are happy or miserable
00:10:53.52\00:10:56.38
depends on how you
choose to use the power
00:10:56.42\00:10:59.25
that you do have.
00:10:59.28\00:11:00.25
Pets are little gifts from God,
00:11:00.26\00:11:02.63
made especially for
you, just to make you happy.
00:11:02.67\00:11:06.30
He knows it's hard to
always be told what to do.
00:11:06.33\00:11:10.09
So, He made something
for you to made charge over.
00:11:10.13\00:11:13.83
He puts them in your care
so you can have some power
00:11:13.86\00:11:17.53
and you can
learn to use it well.
00:11:17.56\00:11:19.69
I know it's hard to
always be bossed around.
00:11:19.73\00:11:23.33
I remember what it was like.
00:11:23.36\00:11:25.31
And Jesus was once a
child just like you are now.
00:11:25.35\00:11:28.97
So, now you know there
are at least two other people
00:11:29.01\00:11:32.60
in the world who
remember what it is like
00:11:32.63\00:11:35.33
to feel powerless. We
both know that you really do
00:11:35.37\00:11:39.26
have some power and that if you
used it responsibly every day,
00:11:39.30\00:11:43.77
your power for good will grow.
00:11:43.80\00:11:45.85
When it's seems like
you don't get to do nothing
00:11:46.84\00:11:49.74
you wanna do and
everybody is telling what to do,
00:11:49.77\00:11:52.64
you can come back
to grandma's house.
00:11:52.67\00:11:55.15
I'll remind you
how marvelous your are.
00:11:55.18\00:11:57.63
In the meantime,
tell God how you feel.
00:11:58.14\00:12:01.16
He'll help you
to adore anything.
00:12:01.19\00:12:03.71
I'll be watching for you,
so you come back real soon.
00:12:03.74\00:12:07.77
I love you.
00:12:07.80\00:12:09.97
My pet rock...
I'm gonna teach it
00:12:12.18\00:12:14.09
how to climb up a wall,
how to fly and how to paint
00:12:14.13\00:12:22.44
it's own pet rock.
00:12:22.47\00:12:23.88
This is my pet rock. I
think it is going to sleep.
00:12:23.92\00:12:26.78
Sssssssss...
00:12:27.85\00:12:29.47
My pet's rock name
is gonna be... Lady.
00:12:29.51\00:12:33.64
I named him, what should I
name I named him: Kitty Cat.
00:12:35.26\00:12:41.41
Grandma Neal's pet
rock is my favorite
00:12:41.84\00:12:44.32
out of all them
'cause it's a turtle
00:12:44.35\00:12:46.80
and I really like turtles.
00:12:46.83\00:12:48.78
And she did her best.
00:12:48.81\00:12:51.35
She said that it
didn't looked that good
00:12:51.39\00:12:53.45
but I thought it did.
00:12:53.48\00:12:54.81
He's still tired.
00:12:56.09\00:12:57.50
I think I'll let him sleep in.
00:12:57.54\00:13:00.88
I think when I was
painting on my pet rock...
00:13:00.92\00:13:03.78
When I was painting
around it's armpit part
00:13:03.81\00:13:07.87
it started giggling a lot.
00:13:07.90\00:13:09.76
That's all I have
to say. I know no more.
00:13:11.27\00:13:14.65
