She played Barbies with her grand d aughters as long as they kept their clothes on . She didn't like the way girls and women dressed today and would tell them that the cloths made for young girls these days were hideous and if they dressed like that they were told to get their butts back in the house and change to look like a young sophisticated lady . Her Grandsons couldn't resist a home cooked meal by gram whether they had already eaten or not but were always taught to wash their hands, remove their hats and keep their pants pulled up. One of them would even throw a fit until he got his way every time he went past the house to go and have dinner or a hot coco whether he had eaten or not. She looked forward to her phone calls and visits with Louise, her life l ong friend . Along with her v i sits with Sharon and brother Fred Currier.
