Aunt Lulu Graves... there aren't too many of us left who remember her. She was my great-grandmother's spinster sister, and a woman of idiosyncrasies. She led a colorful life, and not necessarily in a good way. At one time in my early life I recall that she used to sell greeting cards as a side hustle - the kind where you order them pre-printed with your name on them - I'm sure quite a concept back in the 1960's. I remember them because every Christmas we all got the outdated proof samples in place of a regular Christmas card. "Merry Christmas from Tom and Gertrude Forrester." Who?? Apparently she was not a customer herself, as we never saw one with her actual name on it.
