When I was a kid growing up my Grandmother was a guiding force in my life. She would bake, discipline, and dispense wisdom like there was no tomorrow.
One of my Grandmothers favorite sayings was " You got yourself in a real Pickle there". Then she would purse her lips together as if she had just taken a big bite out of a Juicy Dill Pickle. We all knew what she meant.
Today in our troubling economic times I would suspect that my Grandma would be talking about Pickles all day long. How many of us have been living our lives on the edge, the Payday to Payday program? A sure fired recipe for Pickles.
My grandmother and her favorite saying was the inspiration for my new web blog site The_Pickle . At the Pickle you can read stories involving Oregon and Oregonians, financial matters concerning home buying and selling matters and view photos in and around the Portland Metro area.

I think I would have liked your grandma. She sounds like a wise woman.
Yes, with the economy the way it is, I would have to agree with your grandma. We've gotten ourselves into a great big juicy deli kosher dill pickle!
Donna,
Thanks for stopping by and your cute comment.
Herb:
It has been sometime since I've heard the "Pickle Statement". Most of us "old timers" used to hear it frequently. Given the dominance of our present dilemma and the incessant coverage in every media source your grandmother would have an abundance of reference material for her lessons on life.
Ron,
Indeed she would have. And that my friend is just proof positive that those who are not students of History are doomed to repeat it.
Herb:
You can take that quote to the bank.....and they will probably rely on it to some extent when making a loan decision.
I lost my mother at age 18 and all grandparents are long gone. For almost 43 years my mother-in-law has been my mother. She endured the Great Depression and the hardships of WWII and her experiences and lessons learned have served her so very well. Myself as well, as I am awed and fascinated when she shares this with my wife and I.
