My dad would always have small colored notebooks for us when we were little in church--and he would draw us little pictures and we would try to copy them--to help us not fidget and keep quiet during the services. He must have got the idea from her.

Here is a gift for you, I remember Grandma's porch she had a fountain out there it was two or three levels high. The porch was a sunny place to play and she had a basket of toys for the kids to play with. I think this could be the memory you have. She always had M&M's in a small dish on her buffet, that she being diabetic would sneak quite frequently. She was a saver and had every letter she ever received in her bedroom closet. She liked to sew doll clothes so she had a barbie and ken to use as models. The attic was a scary place for me because it had pull down stairs that were just over the basement stairs so it was scary as a child to go up those stairs. In the backyard was a gazing ball and Lilly of the valley every spring. That was her favorite perfume which your dad would buy her for gifts. On time your dad bought her a new organ it was very nice and she loved it. Your dad would always get her the best gifts and she loved being spoilt by him. They definitely were very close I can remember this. In the kitchen was a table with benches in a little alcove. She had a string dispenser in the wall that was a lady and the string would come out her mouth. She had pretty colored dishes called Harlequinn we would each have our own color. I remember watching born free on her tv, another gift from your dad. I think it was color but not sure. Sometimes she would drive me to dance class in Belmont. We went to the Presbyterian Church in Belmont and I would sit next to her. She would always have paper and a pencil for me to write on because I was very fidgety. When we spent the night we would sleep in the back bedroom on the twin beds that were my dad's and yours. I would say goodnight Grandma she would say goodnight than me than her this would go on for an long as I wanted she never tried off the game. She was a snorer she went to Florida with us and we shared a room I remember that. She was an awesome grandma and she loved being with you. I think you lived in Indiana when you were a baby and we would drive her there to see you. I hope you enjoyed these memories.
