She had beautiful hair so I am not sure why she used those wigs. Did your grandmother save green stamps? Mine did and I love all the neat things she got with them<br /><br />I hope you are having a wonderful vacation.Finding Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671978828279304904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-24145284515892421282010-03-10T22:28:02.049-05:002010-03-10T22:28:02.049-05:00My gram had wigs too.

And she smoked, but when the doc said quit because she was developing the early stages of emphysema, she threw out every cigarette in the house that very day and never smoked again.<br /><br />I remember the long ashes. I remember that quick smell after she struck the match and took the first drag...it made me wrinkle my nose and she would laugh. She'd say "Oh fine", and put it out. Then light it back up when I lost interest and went to play in the other room.<br /><br />But she quit and managed another 20 years, until the emphysema finally got her.<br /><br />The wigs...I remember four of them and she would line them up on their scary heads in the back seat of the car and take them around the corner to the beauty parlor. I liked her red hair best.<br /><br />Thanks for those marvelous memories my dear.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.com
