Virgie sewed the boys' shirts, so they usually matched... she wanted to be 'fair' she said.  She hated doing button holes  so she always used Gripper-Snaps.

'Ruby Surprise'   September 2006
Cody gave up his job of doing live-in care for two brothers when dad became too ill to be on his own. He moved in with mom and dad, caring for both of them until dad passed, at which time he cared for mom until diabetes rendered him unable to do that. Later, Mom wanted to help Cody out when he was in need, so she purchased a car that Kitty was able to find at her place of work (Ford Dealer) and it was given to Cody as a total surprise, as you can see from the image above. Cody always named his cars, and he quickly dubbed this one "Ruby". I think that Cody was a bit overwhelmed. It always was very difficult to do a favor for him.
