My grandfather was quite a character. He was a cutter at a fur company. He would always ask me when I was little if I wanted a fur coat and I would always say no (my mother would get mad at me ). He did make me a fur collar and a muff, do you remember them? He always wore a flannel shirt with a bow tie, sometime the tie was made out of fur.
When they would have us over for Sunday dinner, he would sit at the table with us kids and start saying, "when do we eat, when do we eat " over and over, and he would get us kids to join in. Well, grandma would yell at him from the kitchen," Freddie cut that out". We would laugh. Then he would make a volcano out of his mashed potatoes and pour in the gravy. We kids loved that.
I don't think I ever saw him without his pipe. I have their antique cabinet. It is filled with things I have of theirs, including Grandpas pipes.
Will you share your memories, please?
