After all of us kids were grown and moved away, Mom and Daddy moved back to where they grew up. It was home.

It was hard work. We only went to school when it rained. If it wasn’t raining, we were in the fields.

They just thought they would make a good match.

She was an excellent cook.

She came to live with me in Albany. She really enjoyed that, she got to see some of the grandchildren.
