Precious Photos

Below are two of my favorites of the new photos I obtained at the reunion. There are not many old photos of my mother when she was young so anytime I get one I am thrilled. My grandparents were the best in the world and I loved them tremendously. They are both long dead and I still miss them. It was especially great to see these photos of them in their younger years and to see a picture of my mother's old piano was icing on the cake for me. Granddaddy bought it for her when she was a little girl and she learned to play it herself. She never learned to read music but is one super pianist playing old gospel and old country tunes. How wonderful to get my hands on these! Thanks Karen!


this is a photo of my mother in 1951, wearing a long formal gown, I don't know what the special occasion was but it must have been something big since she lived out in the country and didn't have much opportunity to dress like this often

this is my grandparents in their house before it was remodeled, this was probably the late 1930's or early 40's and you can see my mom's upright piano in the background, and yes, that is Granny and Granddaddy
