Another archaic word she used was "step-ins" which was what she called ladies underwear.
For Christmas, the grandsons would all get black socks, and the granddaughters would all get step-ins.
When asked what she wanted for Christmas, the response was, "Nothing, but maybe I could use a new housecoat." I realize now that would have been a very economical and useful gift for her.
In her entire life, I think she left the state of Mississippi twice, both of which were in the company of my Mom and Dad on brief vacations. No, I take that back. She traveled to Houston many times to take my grandfather to MD Anderson when he was dying of cancer. Of course, she never drove a car in her entire life, but she always went with whichever of the children drove him.
Good memories of her. She is enjoying her eternal reward. I am certain of it.
Sounds like a great lady! Bless her heart.
