Wife since 2004. Mother since 2006. Two of the best and most important decisions and moments of my life. By day, I educate 10-12 year-old boys and girls and, in turn, am often educated BY them. The creative in me, however, yearns to be set free. Enter photography.

We would each write about things that had gone on during the week, exchange journals, comment, and write back. It was our own antiquated version of Facebook Messenger 😉 It was in that journal to Chasity I had written about meeting Pam for the first time.

They remained married from October 3, 1953 until Granddad passed away on Mother’s Day, May 9, 2004. Those 50+ years held some amazing memories, gave them 8 children, many grandchildren, and several great grandchildren. Now, Mamaw’s mom and … Continue reading …like Jimmy and Verne →
