She made great cinnamon rolls. She used Vicks a lot.

When Bud turned 62 and eligible for Social Security, he didn't have a birth certificate. They told him if he had anyone that was 21 years older than himself, that witnessed his birth, they would sign him up. Looking back now, Exie was not quite that old, but she signed the papers and he collected SS!
