Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk.~Susan Scarf Merrell
Leigh Ann, Kimberly, Sherry and our little brother Jimmy at our Aunt Roisale's house in Homewood Alabama. This was our old station wagon and we made many trips to our Aunt's where we spent time with our cousins David, Greta, Richard and Rodney. Leigh, Kim, Jimmy and I all volleyed to secure our favorite spot in the rear facing back seat where we would keep count of and name gas stations to pass the time. Our Grandma Ida Smothers lived in this house and she was the most selfless woman that I have known. I fondly remember her scratch made biscuits. I'd take butter and mix it with grape jelly and slather it in a piping hot biscuit. Grandma taught us many things. She is buried in Elmwood Cemetary beside my father and cousin Greta. Kim is also in Elmwood next to our great-grandparents Chandler and our maternal Grandma Shryock.
