Great Gram in the Flood

Of the many stories about my Great Grandma, my favorite is about her in the flood. The cottage was on the steep bank of a creek, and sometimes the water was prone to rising suddenly. Usually there was time to evacuate to the relatives on high ground, but this time, they were trapped and had to be rescued by boat. Gram was waiting in knee-deep water on her front porch. In one hand she held the family bible, and in the other a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey. As they were helping her get into the boat, our wise grandmother told the firemen, "I have everything I need. What one can't handle, the other one will."
