Some of my roots!!!!

My mom sent this to me this morning and I wanted to share!! 

 The beautiful lady on the left, Margie Lilley Davis , is my grandma!  Isn't she stunning?? I miss her each and everyday.  She would have LOVED Crewe!  She did know that I was having a boy, and she was able to watch a video of my ultrasound and he was just kicking all around.  What I wouldn't give to have her back!  She was a mess and everyone says I act just like her!!!  I once sprayed her with a water hose, her hair was in curlers and I drenched her.....and you can bet I took off running and she blistered my tail when she caught me!!!  

And the precious man in the middle with the cake would be my great-grandfather.  Granted I never met him, I sure do love him and all of the stories I have heard about him!   

I can remember my Papa Davis (3rd from left) playing kickball with me, it was an orange and black kick ball.  And he bought me a big wheel bike when I was around 3 and I couldn't reach the pedals so he pushed me everywhere with a big ole stick!! I also remember telling him that "they shot me with a shot gun" , this was when I got my ears pierced!!  And after that my grandma REFUSED to get hers done.  I was 4 when he passed away.  

And I can remember Aunt Blanche, the 2nd lady on the left, mom always took me to the nursing home to visit her, and I would sing and dance!!!  I was as show off, in case you didn't know, LOL!  

And the lady to the far right, Aunt Agnes, we always went to visit her after she moved from Plymouth.  Mom would take me to Maryland at least twice a year for a visit with her.....she had a live in nurse lady named LuLu.  And I can remember her sister, Aunt Jo, she always drove a fancy Volkswagen!  And she would always take us to this Chinese restaurant, I was probably 11 the last time we went before she passed.

Isn't it amazing that we have all of these wonderful memories!!  I bet that this clan is parting away in heaven today!!
