What's for Supper?

Tough question! I was going to fix left over roast beef and fry a few taters, but when I got home, Charlie told me he gave the DOG the roast beef because he thought it ahd been in the fridge too long!!!! S o much for that idea! Maybe we'll just have..........uh.........sweet tea and taters!!!???
Charlie has had too much time on his hands this week. He is on 3 day suspension from school because we forgot Saturday school, which he had because of too many d-halls which he had because he has a silly teacher! Charlie is not in trouble but the teacher will get an earfull if it happens again!

Living on Hazel Street

That's me on the back steps of our house. I look like a really bratty kid, huh? I don't think I was, I think I might have been a little shy. My best friend lived next door. Her name was MaryAnn. We loved to play "Barbies" together. But I was a little jealous because she had more Barbie "stuff" than me. She also had an upstairs in her house that I loved. We loved to climb tree, play paperdolls, and walk the railroad tracks behind our houses. (makes me shudder just thinking about my kids doing that !) I'm glad there are no tracks nearby!
Years later when I was about 13, I heard that MaryAnn had shot herself. Commited suicide because of some guy. What a loss! I wish I could know her now!

I worked in the yard most of the day. Charlie and his cousin Jeremy went swimmingin their new fish pond they had built. The duck swam right along with them. I got pictures. mama

Can't figure out why the same picture printed 3 times!?
This is me, my sisters and my cousin Sonny on Easter 196? something. We were sooooo cute, huh? Not a care in the world.

Pawpaw and Mawmaw and me

I don't know what year this is or how old I am. I have a very vauge memeory of this. We were on a dam somewhere in Arkansas.
I was born in 1957 and I was the only grandchild until 1961 when my cousin was born. I was probably spoiled rotten!
Helen and Elec were my maternal grandparents. I loved them so much and I miss them!
