I love reading everyone's story. My grandparents weren't too exciting (that I know of), Remember the old cap guns? You would put a roll with pockets of powder in a gun, and when you pulled the trigger it would make a loud "pop" and advance the roll to the next little pocket. My maternal grandmother used to work in a cap gun factory, and somehow we got a huge roll of the red paper that they made the rolls of powder with. My mother used this paper to wrap our gifts (for us 5 kids) every year, has to be for 15 years. When I found out what the wrapping paper was, I thought of my grandma every time we received gifts.
