AND YET ANOTHER FAVORITE

This dog reminds me of my Nanny's dog Tony, except that he was all white.  He had a sweet nature just like my Nanny, Dad's mother.  I still have very fond memories of this dear lady.  I was around ten years' old when she passed.  I remember whenever I knew we were visiting her, which was often, I had the happiest feeling, just like I do now with the memory.  My mother loved her very much also, and told me stories about her earlier life after she had gone.  The two of them would sit for considerable lengths of time, just talking about the old days.  One was when she met my Nandad.  She wouldn't seriously think of going out with him because she was older than he by a few years, but he would not give up.  He had set his cap for her and he took it upon himself to go over to the sea captain's house, where she worked as housekeeper and a nanny for their children. Nandad got down on his knees and yelled through the letterbox at the top of his lungs,
"Miss Lucy, will you go out with me?  I will not leave until you agree", over and over again.  To stop this embarrassment and for fear of being fired, she finally agreed and the rest as they say, is history.
