Pretty girls
Pretty girls out for a stroll.Momma is on the right side of the photo.Just guessing,they must have been teens.Her sister Pauline is the second from left.Story goes about way Momma got her name is Grandpa was at the store and Ada Noles who ran the store asked what the new baby was named.Just kidding he said Ada.Well Ada Noles started gathering up things for the baby.After all that they could not change her name.Years after Ada Noles would buy Momma dolls,clothes and other things for Christmas and birthdays.
Thinking of Grandpa
This is a photo of Lee Anderson Haynes.My Grandpa,pictured with 2 of his coon dogs at his home in Alabama.I was 3 when he died but memories of him are cemented in my brain.He was tall,slim,white headed always wearing long sleeve white shirts and brogan type shoes.He liked peaches and cream,talking and laughing,hunting with his dogs.Never met a stranger someone said of him.My memory starts at his farm in Roanoke,Alabama.My job was to gather the eggs every morning and help slop the hogs in the evening.After all these years I still miss him,love him.If I make it to the other side hope he is one of the first I meet.
