Funny Faces
It is so hard to get a good photo of three kids at the same time. Katie did not like the straw sticking her feet at all! During one of the pix, her shoe came off. It was so funny, then the faces began!!! We just decided to let them get it out of there system!!!
The Garner Girls and Kylie
I look forward to Easter every year. It is my favorite holiday, maybe because the time of year…..spring! But, I love hosting Easter and these kids are the reason!!! Love you all!
Kylie’s Easter 2010
This kid loves her little Bible’s! She takes them around all the time. This was before we left for church, so I was in a hurry! I did not even realize she had it in her hand. I did not prompt her at all, she just did it on her own! Sweet girl!
Remembering
Remembering James (Jimmy) Collie Williams on this day when he was called to leave us way to early! So glad I had Kylie to keep me busy today! Thank-you for being such a special Dad and for all the sacrifices you made for all of us girls! I love ya Daddy!
Happy Easter Jelly beans anyone???
The other day Papa came in & got a few jelly beans. He did not put the top back on completely. I had told Kylie to ask me & would get her some out. Well, she got it herself and this is what we had…..the 100 jelly bean pick up game!!! Cayla grabbed the camera and I thought her face was funny! Oh well..she just saved me some calories!!!
Peach Snuff
When I was a young girl, many of the farmers grew tobacco. It is how we made a living & it paid our bills. We always had the privilege of helping Uncle Tom & Aunt Dot with their tobacco, along with their son Larry! You know we were just thrilled to work 6 days a week! Well, Aunt Dot always fed us a great dinner & we raided the outside frig & the cake plate as much as we could during the day. If you had time while hauling the tobacco from the field to the barn, you could stop & jump out...go to the restroom & grab something to eat! I remember Fanta orange & grape drinks. One day after dinner, Lila, Lynn & myself went outside in the front yard. Lila got the mail. There was a box in the mail...she opened it & guess what was inside....yep a sample can of Peach Snuff!!! Well, you know we were working in the stuff & we decided we would try some. Lila got her some, I got a little....I did not want to get sick.....then it was Lynn's turn. Well, she could not get it to come out of the can. She was sitting on the lawn mower I do believe. She told us just to pour her a little. So she held out her bottom lip while Lila began to try & drop some in. It would not come out, so we needed to tap on the bottom of the can. Lynn's holding out her lip, Lila's got the can, and I helped tap...well, when it came out it was not just a little and if you don't know, it is like powder. Oh dear, the laughter began...Lynn got a little tickled too, which did not help her situation at all. It was everywhere, in between all of her teeth. She got to the nearest water hose & washed her mouth out then told us that it was... not funny....I said, just a little!! We really did not mean for that to happen. Well folks Lynn & I did not go for the snuff....but Lila did...I think she dipped that stuff for about a month!!! We told her it was going to make her sick! I went to see Uncle Tom & Aunt Dot the other day, they are not doing well. Uncle Tom had a stroke years ago & his health has declined. Aunt Dot was just in the hospital for a week with heart problems. I ate lunch with her & as I sat & looked out the dining room window I just had to chuckle at all the fun we had working in tobacco. I shared the snuff story with her & she shared a memory she had from her childhood... skipping school, walking down the railroad track and trading a sandwich for some snuff with a little colored lady. Then her & her friends sprawled out on the railroad track sick as dogs! Love to visit with these two!
