Granny was such a funny woman. She was quick with a come-back. When someone asked one day why she had newspapers lining her shelf where the pots and pans were, she said "well, it's too dark in there for the bugs to read, so they don't come around." And she played piano and hummed, with no piano! It was too cute! And if she couldn't remember all her friends names at the various bingo places, she gave them knicknames, like one couple she named Bonnie and Clyde. She was fun!! - Posted by: Kelly Ruf (Granddaughter ) on: Dec 26, 2011
