Can I simply say what a relief to find someone who truly knows what they’re discussing on the internet. You actually know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people need to check this out and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular because you surely have the gift.

@Ryland Stacy Thanks, Ry! I miss them too and our waffle suppers, days at the farm, etc. We both had reciprocally wonderful mothers and aunts. They did have kissable cheeks! Much love, Sperry

Aunt Genia was an amazing lady and looking at her, in Mom’s (Georgia) later years, (look at that pic) they looked so alike! Look at the eyes and nose and those soft kissable cheeks! We all had such fun growing up with the moms, aunts, uncles and grandparents we had and I do feel so thankful for all of them!

Thanks Sperry for sharing your mom with all of us, I look forward to many more installments!
Wish my mom had gotten herself together to share her doings and Nannie’s stories!

Love you, Ryland (S)

Charming recollection. And what a touching gesture on her part to take time to play chess with Sperry when she , no doubt, had other things on her mind!

Chris : That’s a sweet, child-centric story. It reminds me of a scene from a Wes Anderson film. I never noticed how much Roy resembles his father…

Sperry Hunt) his window Chaille Jones, and others, a new supply of Brady pink as finally made available” and that “The clay for Brady bricks came from a deposit on Brady Island, formed by redirecting a portion of teh Ship Channel. Kilns wer operated both on the island and at the Navigation Boulevard locations.”
