I am sorry to say she is sort of lost to us now...not a lot of what she says makes any sense. She has forgotten how to answer the phone and I know one day soon she won't know who I am anymore.
My dad managed the A&P in Yorkville during the 40s and my sister and I had many a dress and matching panty made by my mother out of feed sacks. My dad would barter with the local farmers to get the prettiest prints.
