Tiny loved music, playing cards, traveling around the U.S. and gambling in the casinos. She loved pulling the slots at any casino that she could drive or ride to. Here is one thing we all know about Tiny , "Do not block her driveway, please." She would drive down the street blowing her horn until they moved their car out of her driveway.
