I Did It By Myself

-



I know.....another post from Rita in the same day. After looking over the instruction booklet a half a dozen times only to put it aside again, I am happy to report that not only did I set up a new printer/scanner/copier/fax (scratch the fax - I skipped that part) but also scanned a couple of pictures to show you. They will only be of interest to the ones pictured but since we were so cute, I had to share. I tend to lose interest quickly so maybe I won't post ad nauseam.


This is fourth grade - Mrs. Polly Kennon
I am third from the right front row. I am as
tall as the rest of y'all here - what happened?

Is this first grade? I can't remember this teacher.
I am on the end second row.
At least I'm not in shorts like the second grade picture.

    Isn't it fun to find old photos and get them onto the computer? I'm impressed! I still need a lot of help to scan.

    You did a great job; these pics are cute - we must be about the same age - my school pics look much the same! Have a good evening!

    I thought I might be able to identify her but couldn't. To answer your question about double knit quilts, I pieced two, a long time ago; I quilted one and tied the other. I don't like to work with knits, so I finally gave all my knit scraps away. Having said that, we do use those two quilts; they're very warm and you just can't wear them out, neither do they fade. About the struggle to be among people -- I'm a little agoraphibic I guess.

My Uncle Morrice Dean

My Uncle Morrice Dean - we always say the Dean - was 10 years old when mama and daddy married. He was 11 when I was born and still young enough to get a kick out of pushing a giggling toddler around and around the house in a plain ole' cardboard box. Mama was only 16 when she married and left Oklahoma City and made her home with my daddy in Arkansas. Although she was welcomed by her new family, she was frequently homesick and would send for her baby brother to stay a few weeks with her. Clockwise from the top: Tallest is My Uncle Bob, My Grandpa, My Uncle Toby, My Mama Virginia, My Uncle Morrice Dean, My Grandma, My Uncle Ted. Morrice Dean was pretty much informally adopted by daddy's family and was a frequent visitor at the Middleton family home. He and Uncle Paul became great friends. He is most remembered by his always present glasses, wide smile, and free and easy disposition. Mama, Morrice and Paul (Paul says Mama's knees in his back really hurt) With

Happy Mothers Day

Somewhere there is a baby picture of me with my Mama and Daddy. They had me lying on a pillow in a straight backed kitchen chair outside Aunt Maggie's little house. They are both looking down on me and the photo does not show their faces. Of all these old pictures I have, I cannot find that one. It makes me sad. I can't find the picture of Greg and Cassie I have titled, "The Fish Story" either. So, instead I am showing a picture of my Mama with her Mama. Except Mama always had to call her Mother. She said she would not answer her unless she did. I always thought that strange as we never called her Grandmother. I don't know why Mama (and therefore me too) was so short. Grandma was fairly tall and Grandpa was a very large man. It is a funny thing about genetics, isn't it? I have uncles over six feet tall and my Daddy was only 5'7". And sometimes those blue eyes pop up in a family of brown eyed children.
