Photos of my Momma and Daddy and their families. I have a rich heritage older than my years. Being a oops baby, a late in lifer, has attributed to this. My parents lived through horrible hard times in America and my Daddy was a WWII Naval Vet. So proud to have been able to call them Mom and Dad.
 |

 |
| Momma's momma and daddy and some of her brothers and sisters. I think this was the three or four room house they lived in for a number of years?? But not sure. Wish I knew more of their history. I loved listening when I was small. |
 |

| One of my favorites! Love the car seat my sister Lynette is in! Oh My! |
 |
| My FAVORITE photo of all time...and of course favorite of momma and daddy |
 |
| Second favorite photo of all time. Utterly beautiful in my eyes. Momma was a soph in HS. Her expression is in many ways unlike the Mom I knew. |
 |
| Momma with sis on pony and sister on ground. Brother holding horse? Look at those bare feet around the pony! OUCH if there had been a mis-step!!! |
 |
| Not an old family photo. This is me and Daddy at my 1995 college graduation from TN Wesleyan College. Wish Momma had been there to see.....Education was so important to them. Back in their days it wasn't possible. HS wasn't possible for many. I think Daddy had to quit in the 8th grade to help support family. Oh I wish Momma was here to fill in the gaps of the history she passed on to me so long ago.....I love history and I love that my family played in the time of history they did. A very historical and important time in American. |
