11) Good posture was important to her. She would have us walk with books on our head in the living room.
12) She was fiercely patriotic, and felt like she fought the wars along side of those brave soldiers (emotionally anyway).
13) She would sit on her scratchy floral hid-a-bed couch with a book in one hand and a cigarete in the other hand. She would forget to flick her cigarette because she was so engaged with the book, and she would get a long ash balaned on top of her cigarette.
14) She raised four daughters: Nancy, Sally, Margaret and Katherine.
15) She was such a great gardner that some of our friends used to call her Mother Nature.
16) One time we had a flash flood come down from the forrest behind our house. Grandmother stood on our front porch and shook her fist at the flood and said “don’t you dare!”, because it was heading right for our yard. The flood came down to our fence line, made a sharp right turn, and went around our fenceline into the neighbor’s yard. From that day on, I KNEW she had special mother nature powers…I think she did too.
