Dad would tease her by saying that she was a "flapper" when he married her in 1932. As a teen I would find her staying up late playing Solitare. Dad went to bed early but the two of us were night owls. I don't know that she smoked, re your 'asking for a light,' but my sister and I did find some of her erotic drawings hidden in one of her old poetry books. <br />I sat this challenge out, it was New Years Eve. <br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.com
