Grandma Rockford

I once asked Grandma Beard, "If you could be anything at all, what would it be?" Do you know what she told me?

 

She just loved Jim Rockford, the ruggedly handsome detective on the television show, "The Rockford Files". Grandma told me that she solved the crime before Rockford on almost every single episode, so she was confident she would be great as a private eye. Her life in Tetonia must have seemed rather dull compared to the capers of James Garner's character in the popular series. 

Even though her fantasy never came true, her sons and daughter, and maybe even Grandpa, would tell you that she had a pretty good nose for sniffing out the culprit of a crime. She tracked down many a cookie thief in her day.
