You know, my grandfather taught me to play poker. When I was really little

My Granny, Mama's mom, had a sister who lived in Detroit. She'd come down every 10 yrs. or so for a visit. She came when I was about 11 or 12, and she taught my sister and me, and our girl cousins how to play Canasta. She called it Clean and Dirty Canasta. She cussed like a sailor, and my saintly Granny was always fussing at her for talking like that around us. We thought it was so funny!

My mom was always horrified when my aunt would come from Tucson in the summers. She cussed like a sailor and smoked about 3 packs of Lucky Strikes a day. And I think they thought I liked her WAYYYYY too much. :-) i might of. But, she's still with us. And she hung with me through Grama's funeral.
