Despite all this I remember her as having a positive attitude, she was a joyful person always glad to see me. She was quite friendly liked to get together with family and friends. She was quite crafty she crocheted. knitted, Quilted. I have some of her blankets she made a plan to post pictures of them later. She liked to garden.
I remember, when my father Carl was still alive he myself and my mother Janice would go visit her and my Grandfather Ed to play cards. They all had such a good time and fun. I remember she would make coffee for me I'd put a lot of sugar and cream, then we always had sharp cheddar cheese with crackers. I remember them listening to a TV country music station. no matter how hard I tried, I never liked the music and singers with the sequins suites, but they liked it .
At family holiday gathering Lydia liked her cream de mint.
Lydia was quite sharp in her later years I remember my mother Janice and I took her to bingo when I was a newbie Lydia would point out called numbers on the bingo sheet I missed. Had a sharp eye.
