One Great Granny and the Past

told me this~
 I only had one
 great grandmother
 too. I don't know how
 old she was but she looked
 pretty ancient to me and
 wrinkled...lol
I only knew the one great
granny. She seemed to have
never changed in the yrs that I knew her. 
This is Great Granny, me,
and my two brothers. I was
about 12 in the above pic.

That is great granny to the left
in the pic below. Her son,
Uncle William and 
one of her sisters,
Augusta.

Left to right is great granny's
sister Etta, Augusta and
great granny.


The pic below was taken
long before I as born.
It is great granny and her
sons.
Left to right, not sure which
son that is. However, the one
in the back, dark hair with the 
window about his head is my
granddaddy, Horace. Horace was
mom's dad. The man standing in
front of great granny is 
Uncle William, the one
in the pic shown before.
And there again, the one of the 
end I am not sure about.
One would be my great uncle
Tom and the other
would be Paul. 
I knew all but Paul
He left home at an early
age to work and through
that time they only got
one postcard from him and 
then that was it. 


Great Granny's 
resting place.


This is great granny's mom, my
great, great granny.


My great granny lost her hubs 
in his 30's. He died from 
his Appendicitis.
The poison moved through
his body, killing him.
Great granny raised the four 
boys with the help of
her two sisters, Great granny's
two sisters  
never married, and she
never remarried. 

I was very lucky to have
known my great granny on
moms side as well as her
sisters. 

How far can you go back
knowing family members?

I knew my mother's mother's mother. GramMavis taught me to knit. That's the oldest member of the family I knew.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
