I have Lots of Bad Memories as a Child Growing up but I'm Trying to Focus on the Good Memories of My Parents from now On.
Well I got Slapped in the Head a time are Two with the Comb for Not Standing Still when Mother was trying to Comb My Hair it was long She told Daddy if He Didn't get me a Hair Brush She was getting it cut He Told Her She Better Not Well She Did.
I Guess all Families Has Their Up's and Down's at Times.
There was 6 Of us Kids Growing Up So Mother Had Her Hands Full.
Daddy Worked But He also Played Hard.
But We Loved Him So Much.
I Remember I Gave Mother 3 Days to get My Wedding Dress Made But, She Sure Done It Plus She Had My Cake Made and Every Thing Else She was a real Trooper.
I Remember When My 1st Husband and I was Married Our Baby was Out of Milk and Baby Food and Mother and Daddy Robert came and Bought us a Big Bill Of Groceries and The Baby Milk and Food and I told Her she Shouldn't worry about Us Grown Ones .
I was Just Worried About My Baby.
She said She Couldn't and Wouldn't do That.
Mother Was A Very Loving and Careing Person.
Daddy Was To In His Own Way I Guess.
He Done The Best with His Raising He Had As A Child.
Lord I Love And Miss These Two Very Special People In My Life.

He was a Hard Worker and Loved by Everyone who Knew Him. He never Met a Stranger That he didn't Make friends With. He was a buddy to Everyone
He would Give you the Shirt of His Back.
Shelby Ray is Just Like Him He Was a Buddy to Daddy and a Son After Shelby Got Grown they were Running Buddies.
As they say 2 Peas in a Pod.
He helped Aunt Bootie Ivey and the Grand Kids alot.
He went to the Dump and got Old Bikes and Repaired them and Painted them to Give to Doug Ivey i think it was and i think another one of them also.
Daddy could rig up anything and make it work.
I remember he rigged up a telephone one time from Dave's House To Glady's House so when they wanted to talk they could. Well all the Boys took after Him in that way. My Daddy was a Very Neat Person and a Good Looking Man.
I remember one time Him and i was coming home from Grandmaws in Leesville ,Texas and there was some Old Black Man he knew and Daddy told me Sister put you hand flat of the seat and keep them against him and me touching Both of us and watch this I gonna Give Him a Ride of His Life
He Will Never Forget I told Him Daddy Please don't Hurt Him He May Kill Us.
He Laughed and said No Sister He is a Good Man I said Maybe Not For Long.
Daddy Said i Know Him Well He is a Friend.
well Daddy had aHot Seat Rigged up in his Old Model T or Model A Ford I don't know the difference it had a Old Rummble Seat in Back.
Daddy was real long Legged He had a big Black Button on the Stearing Wheel and when he Hit it would Shock the two on the outside .
That poor Old Black Man was Screaming Mr.Rhoades You seat is Biten me, oh Mr.Rhoades, if i ever get out this car i will never ride with you again
