Things Every East Texas Adult Learned From Their Grandparents

It’s amazing how we get older and dream of the “good ol’ days”. Texas just like most places seemed like it was a safer place to live, although that might be because we didn’t have social media and there wasn’t so much negativity getting our attention all the time. But there were things we learned back in the day, especially from our grandparents that are still true.

It’s important that we still pass down these lessons, even if they need to be changed a little bit as times have changed drastically since we first learned these lessons.
