Old Photos

My Aunt is scanning old family photos and sent me these today. They are from 1971 or so. They made me a little sad. My Daddy passed away in 1985 at the age of 42 and I still miss him. I wish he had gotten to meet Mister Duck and my precious Ducklings; he would have loved them. The "Hamms" beer is classic Daddy. That must be where I got my beer loving gene. LOL

The other picture is of my Mamaw (My Mom's Mom) who passed away in 2003. She was a pistol, drove like a crazy woman and had a knack for taking care of everyone around her. She was a nurse for 30 years and I swear she knew everyone in the county. (She got pulled over for speeding all of the time and NEVER got a ticket because it seemed she'd always taken care of one of the officers loved ones.) She was a very special lady who loved us grandkids unconditionally; I don't think we could have done anything to make her not love us. I miss her too.

And the little girl in the photo...well that's me. I can see all of my girls as I look at that picture, but hardly recognize it as me.
