Is that where thrift comes from? LOL! I ask because my mom is from New
England, Mass actually, and is extremely thrifty. I even had to talk her
out of her habit of putting a bucket in the shower with her to collect water
to water the shrubs because her balance isn't what it used to be and I'm
afraid she'll wobble and fall on it or because of it.
