3 words that would describe my grandmother, Eleanor.

Eleanor grew up during the Depression and had a tradition of sending me hilariously snarky birthday cards. She’d cross out the original message on a perfectly nice card, replacing it with her own witty remarks or even repurpose holiday cards with a sarcastic twist. Her cards always made me laugh, and I’ve come to call this unique style “The Eleanor.”
