This picture is how I will always remember Granny Gran.  She would get all 'dolled' up, with her heels, hat and jewely just to go to the grocery store.  I used to love playing in her closets when I was a kid - it was 'dress up' heaven!  She must have had over a hundred pairs of shoes, tons of hats, and the all kinds of jewelry.  

Of all the people I've known in my life, Granny Gran has got to be the most colorful.  She loved her beer, and drank a 6-pack a day until the day she died (sometimes a lot more!)  She could be absolutely infuriating one minute, then as sweet as can be the next.  There was never a boring minute with her around.   And, as you might guess, tons of stories to tell.
