Grandma June never had a problem with style and class.
We grew up pretty poor, and it was June who was my role model.
She proved that it didn’t take money to have class, and to come across like a queen. Her clothes might have been simple, often hand-made, but they were colorful and clean and well-tended. She always carried one of those little hand fans with her, like the Southern Belles of yore would use. A lot of time has passed, and the family is not as poor as it used to be. Now we have been able to give June a better form of cooling than a hand held fan. She always seemed so at peace, and never asked for anything, and that made me want to spoil her all the more, especially now that she had high blood pressure. I started off with giving her a smart thermostat for her home, which I of course installed and programmed for her. I got a smart thermostat that takes voice commands, because June is in a wheelchair and can’t stand up to look at the device. She can ask for the reading, and adjust the climate control with a handful of simple voice commands. That wasn’t enough, though, because June likes to be outside so much I had a small cooling component put in under her wheelchair. It works like a swamp cooler, and will gently blow cold air over the backs of her legs when she is outdoors. I am so glad I can help Grandma June cool herself in class and style.
