In Honor of Grandma

I remember...

-How she loved a cup of coffee with something sweet
-Her favorite spot on the couch - don't dare sit in her spot!
-Her couch exercises
-Playing Mexican Bingo with beans
-Going with her to the "Beauty Shop" in her friends basement
-Helping her make Tacos, with lots of pepper
-How she loved BBQ ribs
-How she'd laugh when she'd watch the Newlywed game & Bob Eubanks would say the word "Whoopee".
-Driving around with her in her yellow Nova, which smelled like gasoline
-Her Avon bubble bath & Skin so Soft
-Watching Day of Our Lives with her
-Her silver flower ring
-Her love for the color yellow
-Her idea to use Palmolive on her porch as a make shift slip-n-slide for me & Billy. LOL!
-Christmas and her dry, still on the cross, Douglas Firs, with clumps of tinsel
-Shopping with her at Big Buy market
-Her love for Whiskey Pete's & slot machines
-Making us be quiet & hide from her neighbor Julie when she'd come knocking
-Her old stories, especially the one about how she fought a lady in a laundry mat & ripped her shirt off (my Grandma was tough!)
-Her couch with the plastic cover
-The way she smelled, her giggle & how she loved getting "dolled up" for special occasions
R.I.P Grandma!!! I love you...
