SR and I took Mom to Searcy today to visit her first cousin. He has a rare wit and I could listen to him talk about our family history for hours. Two and a half hours just isn't enough. He and I have always clicked, even though he's a bit older than me. I used to spend weeks with him and his daughter, who I was very close to as well, when I was young. He always makes me welcome and I feel treasured. Often he calls me at night to just chat and I laugh the entire time. I love him dearly. He only recently moved to Searcy, and now that I know how easy it is to get to his house, I will make a point of going back more often. He and my mother have always been close and they chatted the whole time. He shared some photos with us and I thought I'd share one of my mother as a young girl, her sister, my grandmother and his son. I think Mom looks just like my baby sister in this photo. My aunt hasn't changed a bit in all the years since this was taken. Sometimes I really miss my grandma.
This one SR took of Mom, my cousin, and me. I think he looks very distinguished.....
It was a good day and a great way to begin the week of Christmas. I love you W.....

Aw, I miss WT. I love that photo and I was thinking that Grandma looked like Baby Sister.
Great pictures! I love older people and all of their stories. No one tells them better.
OMGoodness!!! Awww, I miss Grandma Willie, too. That picture is awesome. Yes, Aunt Sue does look like your baby sister. Aunt Bob looks the same, and that boy of his looks just like him. Aww...Grandma looks like she could just come right out with "woahley, woahley, woahley..." :-)
