What a wonderful tribute. I have such vivid memories of Maysie (l didn't address her by that name)and her home. She always welcomed me and was so very kind. I don't think she ever uttered a harsh word to me, though my behavior surely would have merited it on occasion. After she passed, I acquired a small mirror that had hung in her home. It is now hung in my home. Happy Birthday, Mrs. MacRury!
In the late 60s as I was a member in good standing of my generation and thus a logical person for a curious grandmother to ask whether I had any marijuana, and could she see it? Highly amused, I promptly retrieved a "lid" cleverly hidden in my socks drawer. She opened the baggie and shrugged, unimpressed. "How much does this cost?" Her priceless reaction was disbelief that I'd paid $20 for "vegetable matter."

Classic memory.
Oh Wayne, a beautiful tribute and memories. I called mine (ours) Lilly, only my family did, she was a blessing in my life as well.
