Family

This past weekend me and kids went to Huntsville to celebrate my grandmother's 85th birthday. Their great-grandmother, Martha Lee Jagot, was born in Marshall, TX in 1922. When asked about what it was like growing up during the great depression she said, "We were poor. But we we didn't know it because everyone was poor."



Mimi, as I call her, may have been poor as a child but is now rich in many ways. To name a few: she has five children, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren who all love and adore her. I can't imagine what it would be like to hold Elia's granddaughter or Austin's grandson!!



We also stayed at with Terri and my dad, or as Elia calls them, "Grandma" and "Grandma-pa." It is always a delight to visit the Kelley farm, complete with cat, dog, chickens, sqirrels, grey tree frogs, a variety of birds, seasonal deer and hogs, the occasional snake and other "critters" that make their home in my folks back yard.
