This is the view from my parents' front porch in Wildwood, GA. The photo doesn't do it justice because it's such a beautiful, peaceful place... with Lookout Mountain in the distance and the little country church across the street. I lived here my whole life until I went away to college, and I love going back to sit on the porch and visit with my mom and dad. This weekend Caleb, Noah, and I (Myra) went up to stay with my dad while my mom went to a family reunion in Tennessee. Dad wasn't quite up to the trip, so Mom got a ride with my aunt (Thank you, Aunt Tookie and Uncle Don!), and the boys and I spent some quality time with Dad. Then today we went to church with both Mom and Dad. What a blessing to have such wonderful, loving parents who have been remarkable role models for their children and grandchildren through the years. They've been married 60 years, and they're still kickin'! [and hopefully not each other :) ]
Mom is preparing to go to the Carroll Bash at Uncle Dale's place in Rock Island, TN. The Carrolls love to laugh and to sing, and they reportedly had a great time!
The boys love their Papaw! (And vice-versa!)
Dad put this tree swing up several years ago, and it's always a favorite activity for the grandchildren!
So who's the UNO champ THIS time??
I got my dad talking about childhood memories of his parents and siblings, and about when he first met my mom--he says she was "REAL pretty!" Some of his tales had me laughing! I am so grateful for the blessings of my mom and my dad.
