She loved every minute. She enjoyed listening to music, also. She always had a craving for sweets and chocolate bars. Around her knitting chair, you would always find little piles of crumbs and bits of yarn. She spent many hours collecting poems, loved to do work search books, call her friends and enjoyed a visit from all. Her memory of olden days and people was remarkable–she knew everyone and would reminisce a lot. She even loved a good joke or two and could always repeat them correctly.
