My father's mother was an awesome grandma!
Everyone called her, 'Tiny' because she was under 5 feet tall.
She smelled like Cover Girl Makeup.
She hung my coloring pictures up in her house.
She always had Butterfingers in the Crisper shelf of her refrigerator.I learned how to make God's Eyes at Grandma's house.
We made lots of them.
Because my grandfather was a truck driver, he was gone a lot so I got to sleep in her bed with her. We would listen to the radio while laying in bed. We pretended to play whatever instrument we could hear in the song and fall asleep to the music.

In the morning she would let me use some of her special perfume.

She had a huge collection of Avon Figurine Perfume Bottles.
I was her first grandchild and she thought I hung the moon.

My mom told me that my grandmother once told my aunt that she probably wished her daughter could be as cute as me. I'm sure my mom just about choked when she realized she would have to apologize to my aunt later.

My Grandma died when I was 8 years old and I am so grateful for the special memories we made together.

In her honor I'm sharing this fabulous cake recipe I found online years ago. It is wonderful just like my grandma!
