Living next door to grandma I have lots of wonderful memories of her .  I remember she never drove so mom would take her most places she every went . Friday was grocery shopping day  and she would always get me to sneak and get her snuff  and put it in the buggy and  I always got to keep the change on the refund on coke bottles she would return . I remember every time she sewed for someone she would make my  baby dolls cloths out of the scraps left over . I remember Saturday night  wrestling and popcorn being popped on the stove and the smell of coffee burring in the old coffee maker  in the morning and her frying eggs in her little cast iron skillet. I  never forgot the time she caught me riding someone else's horse and never telling on me but she  made  me promise I would never do it again.  I remember she could tell you more about the neighbors than they knew about themselves. LOL  I remember as soon as some would leave our house she was calling to see who they were and how mom and dad would get aggravated about it  . LOL  I remember she would tell me stories of how she came to Texas on a cover wagon and how the team of mules would try to bite her, every time I talk about wanting a horse,  if she could only see how many I have now ! The last funny memory I had was when  Dale and  I got married I was given a lingerie party and someone had blown up condoms as center pieces and her coming in and wanting to know what was so funny and looking on the tables and saying  " Well I'm not that old I don't know what they are".
