Golf Cart Parade

July 4th we usually spend with Jonathan's parents. This is their vacation. This year the trailer park had a Golf Cart Parade. Lilly was very excited and Lilly is very creative. However Granny is Very Peculiar about such things so Lilly didn't get to do a lot of decorating. It was very fun to watch and see every one's ideas. Next year Granny may let Lilly get a little more involved after she saw all the other's had. They actually gave away money to the winners and the more the better was the theme. BOth kids had alot of fun and as always that made my heart happy.

A Very Special Lady

This post is for Lilly and Jackson and myself, when I am too old to remember.

Meme has ALWAYS a very special part of my life. My earliest memories involve her and Jojo and staying at their house. Meme now has dementia and it is simply a horrible disease. Gone is the fiesty, loving little lady that I wanted to grow and be taller than. Many times I would measure myself against her to see if I had gotten taller than her. (I didn't get far beyond her.) My parents and AUnts have been cleaning out her house over the past few weeks and this past weekend they had a yard sale. My Aunt Pam made the comment that the only place that made her emotional was the kitchen I would would have to agree. Taking things out of her cabinets I had tears streaming down my face. Others walked out the front door with items for the yard sale and I headed to my car with boxes of glasses and bowls. Her drinking glasses made me remember Jojo and he ALWAYS had a cup of tea on a paper towel
sitting on the table.



So I took those home.
There were her Bird Coffee cups.

These were the cups that Meme and Jojo had their coffee out of every morning along with a bowl of cereal. It was this time that they prayed together. What a lovely memory. So of course the coffee cups went in the car. Then I came across the pudding cups. Meme made supper on Sunday every Sunday for the entire family. Many times dessert was a cup of pudding. So they went to the car too. Then there was the CoCola CUps that Jojo would make Mtn. Dew floats in. Into the car....



the platter and mixing bowl for corn bread....into the car.



Each thing I took out was just too special to let go. So my dear children when I am 80 and you are going through my stuff you will know the memories behind some of the things that I have. I hope that I will make as many memories with you and your children as I have of my own grandparents.
