When I think about my childhood, Grandma was a big part of it. And in my mind’s eye she’s wearing a house dress. Are you familiar with that term?

What would Aunt Hazel do? ~ Southern Hospitality
I’ll never forget my first truly memorable trip to Oklahoma. I was about 11 or 12 years old at the time. My mom and aunt loaded up our station wagon and took off from California with me, my two brothers and my cousin on a two week road trip to visit relatives in Oklahoma, Tennessee…
