Normally, I'm not a word art queen, but I have two of her quotes framed:
[quote]"I've learned by livin' and watchin' that there is only eighteen inches between a pat on the back and a kick in the seat of the pants."
[quote]“I’d rather make $700 a week playing a maid than earn $7 a day being a maid.”
