Well, today I am 50!!! Actually, my twin sister & I are both 50. I have to go work stocking bread this morning but usually am done just in time to make it to church. Since we aren't meeting, the preacher does a sermon on Facebook live. So I'll watch that. It rained REALLY, REALLY hard last night & I believe I may have even heard hail. So there goes my plans to mow & burn a couple piles. Oh well, I'll start some seeds😂.
Here are old pictures of my sister & I.
About a month old
With my dad. I've written about my dad. We idolized him. He was the eldest of 6 kids. Went to Vietnam at 18, came back, met my 16 year old mother, got her pregnant, got married. A month before we were born (a month premature), his father died at 42. So he started going his mother & siblings. Two months after we were born, my mother left so he took care of us with a little help from his mother & sisters.
More pics. That's my mother's brother holding us.
One with our dad
Days like today is when I really miss him. He died at 48 (heart attack, same as his father). We were the first (& second) grandchildren on both sides. Sadly, all the parents & grandparents are gone now.
