What’s In Your Purse?
Nov 20 – what are three items your ancestor would not leave home without?
Grandma was not terribly fussy, but there were some things she insisted on bringing with her. She was most famous for always having a hat. She had a number of them, ranging from a simple ball cap to fancy ones, to one that was crocheted with panels of beer cans interspersed with the yarn. SLeaving the house meant she 
had to first get her hat. She carried a small purse, but she didn’t have much in it. One constant was a tube of red lipstick, which she reapplied throughout the day when she was out (she didn’t seem to fuss much about it when staying home). A more unusual item in her purse was a tube of PoliGrip. Her dentures never quite seemed to fit right, so she carried this “glue” around, just in case. There were times that there was little else in her purse, except maybe some folded bills. Grandma was likely the most “low-maintenance” woman I have ever met.
