I love my Grandma. I will remember her always sitting in the same chair, wearing the same purple robe, drinking the same kind of beer, smoking the same kind of cigarettes, saying the same old things. Every morning she'd eat graham crackers with her coffee. She liked crunchy Cheetos a lot and would have to get some ribbon candy every Christmas. For the family get-togethers, she was always in charge of the turkey breasts, dressing, and giblet gravy. She had many phrases like, "I'm gonna hit you!" (when someone was being goofy or picking on her) and "Thunderation!" (whatever that means) and "Miss Pris" (usually to address me or Lindsey) and "Balliver" (to address Mac) and always said, "You girls need to put some socks on!" And we'd go find the same shoe-socks to put on. I'll have many memories of my grandma. May she rest in peace.
