“I go to the market and people say, ‘Hi there, celebrity,’” said Muriel Gillooly of West Roxbury at her 90th birthday party Saturday. Six of the eight siblings were there to celebrate, which meant 527 of the eight’s total 702 years were in one room. The other two, whose ages total 175 years, were in California.
“I’m enjoying it so far, but I’ll never go to Hollywood,” Gillooly said. “You can tell...
Bag Lady
a poem by Grangee
I’m a bag lady and glad to be.
I make my bag and it follows me.
Do you notice me and my new addition?
I’m so proud to be in this position!
Bags with strong materials and patterns bright,
I carry in the daytime but not at night.
At night the bags hang up to rest,
And in the A.M., they’re ready for the test.

Grangee's Book of Wisdom
100 of Grangee’s best poems have been collected into book form, and I just recieved my first proof copy. It looks amazing, and it’s a steal at $8 plus shipping and handling.
In the near future, I’ll post a few excerpts from the book, and hopefully some video commentary from Grangee, herself. All of Grangee’s decendants are authorized to take advance orders in person, and...

Grangee Explains Stockings
I was having trouble finding stockings — no, not those pantyhose type. I wanted the type called silk stockings. Most stores don’t carry them anymore. Good results happened. I went to my back room and came upon Decelle’s store bag — with a dozen pairs of silk stockings. I had forgotten that I stocked up when Decelle’s had their final closing. Decelle’s saved the day! My true story.
