clay marbles? I didn't know about those. I am off to the sites. and, yes, she was a very caring woman... full of funny stories and wise stories. she had a way of telling a story to make a point... she didn't spell out a point... she told a story that held it and expected you to figure it out. i wish I had spent more time on that porch with her. there were many things I was the only one she told and I wanted to hear so much more. as to the sweaters, it was a special thing in the way it was my grandfather's sweaters. I had not told her I was a lesbian, but when I was there in the summer/fall of '81, a friend (actually, really a friend no more) would call and Granny one day answer and came and said "your frieeeeeeeeeeeeend is on the phone". I cringed and went and talked with Tracy. when I returned to the porch, Granny ordered some more sweet tea then rocked and talked... and told me about when she was young and about the two ladies on the mountain who never married so they chose to live together and didn't that just make sense? cause working a farm is hard and you need two people... and someone to care for you. now what could I say but "uhm, ya, that was pretty smart of them. Granny" and get that wicked Granny grin back at me. she had a story for every occasion.
