Going through Old photos.

I had a busy day today, but this evening, I was going through some old photos. I just wanted to post these. These are my 2 grandmothers. My mothers mother and my fathers mother.



Both were beautiful ladies and very interesting.




Its so amazing to me, to see pictures of your family when they were young.
My Mother mother, Alta is on the left and my fathers mother Hazel is on the right.


I think they were both very beautiful women. My dads mother was really an amazing lady. She had the finest in taste and drove a beautiful convertible with one of those large Poodles. His name was Pierre. She lived in California and took fantastic vacations and she and her husband traveled.


She really had a great life and was a socialite of sorts.


My other grandmother wasn't wealthy, but she was very interesting as well. She was a fantastic cook and was a free spirit. She lived in Burkburnett a long time ago, and I wasn't even aware of it until recently. She is part Native American (Cherokee) and that's where I get my Indian blood from. My mother gave me a quilt that supposedly Quannah Parkers relative sewed and she had it all these years.


They have both passed on, and I miss them. I think they were beautiful and lived interesting lives.


I encourage you all to get out your photos albums this Christmas and go through them epically looking at your parents and grandparents pictures. It such an amazing thing to hear about their lives. I will Miss them this Christmas, but they will be alive in our hearts. What I would give to have them in the Kitchen with me this Christmas.

The last picture is of me with former Texas Govenor Ann Richards. She was campaigning for Govenor and I got a private interview with her, when I was a reporter. I was pretty clever about finding people and getting the scoop! She and I got to talk for a while as she got off her Jet and rode to the courthouse to give her speech down in Central Texas.

She had that charm that my grandmother Hazel had. That grace and beauty yet was strong at the same time.

Ahhhh memory Lane.
