She always had a grin when the kids came to see her. It was a real treat to go to their house at Christmas.

In the 1940's Tin Foil (Aluminum Foil) was very scare, so when she found some, no matter how small of a piece she would save it and roll it into a ball.

She would then take the foil and cover the cardboard pieces and make Christmas ornaments that could be hung up.
