My grandmother was a jetsetter long before the term was made. She would give my mother a call and announce that she would be arriving on a certain date and could we meet her at the airport.
Whenever she would get to our house she would take out a few things and put them in her drawer and hang up her clothes in the closet but she would keep her suitcase on the suitcase stand in the closet in case anyone was going to take a little trip for the weekend she just had to throw a few thing in her suitcase and then she was ready to go.
She would keep candy in her dresser drawer but she would hide it so we kids wouldn't eat it and she like to get a kind of candy that we didn't really care for.
Grandmother was just over four foot tall and she was a spunky German lady that was very temperamental.
She liked to play pranks on us and our friends, but she didn't like for us to play tricks on her. She liked to be the center of attention and this was ok until our friends came over.
We knew that she would be at our house for at least three months and then she would be off to her baby daughters in Spring Valley, NY.
