Sweet Memories

An important part of my past is my grandparents. I've mentioned before how special they all were to me.  I really wanted our girls to see where I spent a lot of my childhood at my grandparents land in Mississippi.  We were able to have that opportunity a few weeks ago & it was a great day.

Here I am standing in the same spot 39 years later from the picture in the insert.

Here is my Dad with my 2 girls & below is my sister & I with my dad's dad standing in the same spot as well.

The remodeled exterior of my grandparents home.  The current homeowners knew my grandparents, respected them greatly, & were so hospitable to having us there on their land.

A view of the cattle gap looking back toward the house.  The walk from the house to this spot seemed so much further when we were kids! 

A view from the "scary hill"....Pop use to pile the grandkids in the back of his truck & drive us down this hill.  We all called it the scary hill!

The side trail of the property where we use to play

A view into the pasture of the silos.  Pop once had a greenhouse on the other side of the fence I vividly remember.

Discovering a trail on the property we had never seen before!

Our group at our picnic lunch.  We missed having my brother & the rest of the family there that day.  I am so thankful we had this time together at such a special place.
