Have you ever cleaned up your storage area to find a box of treasures?

This was my grand mother's file cabinet. She handled all the finances, receipts,bills etc. But she also saved every card they received.  In this worn tattered bag are documents where her father deeded over land, prepared his funeral expenses and actually his will. All of her business went into her file cabinet. I wonder if this was why I always have a box for all my receipts to sort come tax season.

She was diligent to clean house, work flower beds, cook three square meals and provide for not only my mother and me but we had her mother with us also.

She was a really good disciplinarian. 

She stood at the front door shaking out her mop and quickly drew my attention. "Lillian Marie come out from under that wagon and get yourself in this house."

Me and another little boy were playing cowboys and Indians,   I couldn't have been more than 5. 

She was also very moral minded.

She kept my grandfather lined out on our camping trips to be with his brother, sister and family every summer.  It would seem 

My grand mother was quiet, modest, house keeper, mother to both her own child and for seven years,helped raise her granddaughter while my mother worked to care for us.
