This is a picture of me and my grandmother at Disneyland. I think I was about 16. My mamaw was my inspiration for having fun in life! Every year as soon as school was out, my brothers and I traveled to Pine Knot Kentucky for the summer. My mom's mom and dad (my mamaw and dad) and her sister (my Aunt Barb) and my cousins (Jimmy, Todd and Daniel) all lived there. My grandparents house was up the hill from Barb's. We had nothing but fun! My grandpa bought me a pony most every year. If he didn't get one, then my brothers were saddled up for me to ride! My grandma made homemade biscuits, OMG, I can still smell them! My mamaw loved to laugh. She laughed from morning until night. She thought we were funny, she thought everything was funny! We picked blackberries, each of us had our own buckets. She would make each of us our own cobbler, never had to share! That was a big deal for me with a family full of boys!!!! Awww the memories. My mamaw and dad died 5 years ago, they were in an automobile accident. I miss them, but I know for sure they are happy to be with my mom and she is happy to have them.
I want to be that kind of grandma, full of joy and laughter.
