What else did your grandma keep in her pocketbook?
Re: s/o jean nate, PIPs
My grandmother was a bltch. She kept anger, bitterness and resentment in her purse.
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
The Werthers were always in my grandfather's pocket.
And they were so old that they were completely soft all the way through.
My other grandfather always gave us these:
My grandmother was famous for these:
OMG, and when you would bite into one of them - the horror slowly dawning on your face as you bit through more and more of the soft part...
The werther's were fresh in my world... it was these b*tches you had to watch out for.
Omg. Yes. But those were the orange slice grandfather's weapon of choice.
Gault, I knew what I was in for from years of experience, but my younger self was too polite ever to refuse.
My great grandma always had pillow mints in her apron pocket (she always wore an apron even when she wasn't in the kitchen). They were always fresh from what I can remember. I was pretty young when she died.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
They are sesame seed candies.
I guess she didn't carry these in her purse, but they were definitely a fixture in my grandparent's home, in a candy dish .
My grandma kept those in her room.
And the "old lady" dollars that she carried around in a changepurse.

It's not really funny, at least for your family, but this quote is hilarious.
tissues
a nail file
her lipstick
hair scarf (because the wind makes her hair a mess lol) -- she always has so many very nice ones.
Aww, this is a good memory.
Well...it depends on what Grandma.
Hardcore Granny had
and no joke, she used to carry one of these in her purse to "touch up" her mustache.
Yep, she was a classy broad.
tissues
rain bonnet like broc posted
cheap candies
I honestly cant remember much more because it had been awhile since she was really together enough to remember me.
My great grandmother, who used to scare the cr@p out of me, kept these in a dish in her apartment:
This post will give me nightmares.
AFM, Grandma (1) only had her checkbook in her purse, to make out checks to Republican candidates and/or causes.
Grandma (2) I don't remember what was in her purse, but I do remember her driving 75mph down I-5 in the fast lane the whole way from LA to San Diego in her white Lincoln on our way to Sea World. This was back when the speed limit was still 55.
She smoked a pack a day from when she was 13 until she died at 84. Blech.
I blog about nothing
