Marion Lottie Cook, My Grandmother.
Just seeing a picture of my Grandmother flooded my mind with memories.
Every week my grandmother "Gram" (Marion Cook Antilla) would drive over to my aunt (who was her daughter) Gwen's house in her white Saab which had with moon roof.
Gram lived in a sweet, two-story, dark brown cedar shake-sided house in Rindge, New Hampshire, only a few miles away from Jaffrey, NH where Gwen lived.
Every week, aunt Gwen would set her mother Marion's hair. I remember Marion carrying a shoe box which held her hair rollers into Gwen's house.
Sometimes, as a kid I got to watch my Aunt Gwen set her mother's hair. Afterwards wrapping my grandmother's head in a small scarf and then tying the ends in the front of her head, carefully tucking in the ends of the tie.
Aunt Gwen was considerate: always sent her mother home with a dish of something.
She took such good care of her mother's needs-always with a pleasant look on her face.
