Karen and I were going through photos last night to scan to the computer. It was a virtual trip down memory lane. Lots of pictures with Mom, Dad and the kids-holidays, birthdays, etc. We laughed at all of the 'big' hair, weird clothes and reminisced about the years gone by. Here are just a few in the timeline of our mom.
Mom worked as a sales clerk for K-Mart for over 25 years. She was a homemaker until about 1968 when she went to work to help pay for glasses, braces and visits to the dermatologist...all the things that go along with having teens.
Mom's first grandchild, Anne, was born in 1984. She and Dad stayed at the hospital waiting for her arrival at 5:21 a.m. Mom said she prayed all night for everything to be alright...and it was. Anne is now 26 and, even though she has a place of her own, Mom has recently been calling out her name at night to help her.
Wanda Jean Peed grew up on a farm in Kentucky. She was 1 of 6 girls, and she also had 2 brothers. She stripped tobacco and helped raise the younger siblings. She moved to Cincinnati in 1954 when she and my dad got married. This photo was taken in 1950 when she was 23.
aww...I love reading about Mamaw. These are good stories, and she means so much to me because she means so much to Anne. Lots of prayers are being said.
