Lazine remembers the clothes her mother made for the girls -- "We were all
told we were the best dressed."
One of Evelyn's favorite memories is sitting around a big table in front
of the fireplace doing homework, reading, and having whatever snacks were
available.
* Mary Margaret remembers all the doll clothes Grandmother made, her
apricot fried pies, the wine she drank at night (for medicinal purposes
only, from a juice glass, bottle hidden in the back of her closet), and
that Bob was her favorite!
* Linda remembers her homemade bread and cinnamon rolls.
* Terry remembers her Christmas fruit cake (anyone got the recipe?),
pre-testing Thanksgiving pecan pie, and sitting on her front stoop at
sundown while she took her glass of medicine (wine).
* Turtle murder!!!! Mary Margaret remembers going to a pond somewhere to
check the trot line -- there was a huge turtle on the line, so
Grandmother trapped it under a washtub, got a hammer (from where?), and
beat the turtle to death!
* James shot a possum on the back fence and Grandmother cooked it the next
day! (MM, Bob, Jim, and Joe all remember this.)
* she made Jim and Joe share bath water
AND
* Bob was her favorite!
