Remembering listening to my mama, Christine, and Willa Mae laugh and talk when we visited at the house on Old Dowd Road. Will never forget sitting in yard with Uncle Fred and watching the airplanes fly over.
Remembering Parks and Willa Mae visiting Emma Lee. Remembering the cabbage casserole. Good memories!
