I was only 15 years old when you passed away, but I remember going to visit you with my parents while I was growing up. I miss you and I love you.

Hi Gramma. Not doing well. I was reminded this morning that life is not a permanent condition but the end is not pleasant. I'm sorry I wasn't more help to you. In some ways life is like traveling on a super highway at times then the road narrows to 2 lanes and your traveling companions aren't there beside you anymore. Then the road becomes bumpy, then unpaved. See you soon.

HB Gramma. Y'know, I can't tell you for sure what year momma or daddy was born but I always remember yours. It was the year the Wright brothers flew, wasn't it? Wish you were here to celebrate your BD but on the other hand, times are getting tough. You're better off there. Pray for all of us.

Stopping by with thoughts of you on this anniversary of your passing. You might be gone but not forgotten. Keep Dan in the palm of your hand, his health hasn't been the best lately.

Hard to believe that Chris beat me here. When you died a light went out in my world but I saved it in the sanctum of my memory.

It's hard to believe that it's been 34 years since I said good bye. I'm so glad to think of you in Heaven ... no more burdens to bear. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Grandma's Kitchen Table

October 4, 2010

You never left her table hungry.  This one looks to be set for a birthday.

Wayside Women's Club

October 4, 2010

 That's grandma (third from right on the front row).  I used to know most all the names but now you'll have to figure it out for yourself.  My mother (Dot) is first on the right of the back row.  Phillis Washington is directly behind the woman to grandma's right and her mother (sorry I cant remember her name) is just over Phillis' left shoulder.  Most of these were members of Wayside Baptist Church (and ALL of them were wonderful cooks...oh my word...dinner on the grounds was an occasion that was NOT to be missed.)  

Birthday Party

October 4, 2010

 One of Gordon's birthdays and grandma had fixed a wonderful lunch.  Heck just one of her "cat-head" biscuits would fill you up but I see what looks like corn and mashed potatoes and either pear halves or deviled eggs.  'bet there was some fried chicken closer to the camera and of course her kitchen was never without sweet ice tea. -- funny she never had diabetes.

Actually, this may have been taken in Howell's house.. whatever.

She always had teacakes when we would visit when I was 5 to 18.
