She would wave like Princess Di and mutter "I don't know ya, but hello" Steve would go down on Saturday mornings to play 2 handed euchre with her and when she won, she would kiss her hand and pat her cheecks saying "oh Mary, Mary, you're so good!" It cracked me up everytime she did it. Mary decorated for every season plus the ones in between I think, she rotated cool decorations her family had given her over the years and there was always something different to look at in her house that you had never seen before. It was a privilage to be a part of her inner circle, we'll miss her.

I was slightly offended when that person thought he knew the rules better than I. "If you only knew how long I have been playing this game you wouldn't second guess how well I know the rules." And I was right, of course, because grandma had taught me and taught me well. I always loved playing board games & especially cards with her. And I especially loved that she never "let" us win, she played to win too and taught us how to be gracious winners and losers. And when we played cards, look out! As we got older and learned Euchre this was my favorite to play with her. "If you have the right bower you may as well go alone" she would say. I also loved watching her and grandpa play 2 person Euchre. They would get so mad at each other and one would end up cussing and leaving. It was all in good fun though. She always had plenty of ice cold Pepsi and candy waiting for us when we came to visit. Living next door, this was quite often. She was always SO excited to see us, like it was the best day ever. Just like a grandma should be! We love you grandma and will miss you! This week I was playing the boardgame “Sorry” with someone and the rules of the game were challenged.
