I remember going to Uncle Lewis's and Aunt Elma's and looking at his beautiful amethyst collection. He gave me a bag full of eggplants. They were so good! Aunt Elma was a sweetie. When my grandmother died ( Ruth) Aunt Elma said " I can never replace her, but I'll be your grandmother if you want me to". I loved her so much.
