A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan
I wanted to be a wife and mother from the time I was two. I loved babies so much that I would try to pick them up and carry them and they were not that much smaller than I was. I have a great Mama and that may be one of the reasons I wanted to be a mom. As I grew older I was always keeping someones children. I made fifty cents an hour. Sometimes if I stayed at their home I would make more money by cleaning house.
Like most people in the small town of Morrilton, AR parents didn't pamper their children. If I wanted something I had to work for it. I had one job working behind a soda fountain at the drugstore. I really enjoyed all the good food. The owner told me if I ate too much I would not have much of a check. My first check was for $16. She was right but I loved tuna salad and we made it fresh daily. I still love it and chicken salad.
I met Jerry when I was sixteen. We dated nine months and then got married. We have been in love since I was 16. God has blessed me with four children and 12 grands and one great grand and one on the way.

| This is me when I was expecting my son. One of the girls took my picture without telling me. I had sunflower seeds in my hand. At that time I craved sunflower seeds. My girls thought that was so funny. |

A few months ago, I went to Ireland with my three sisters. We had a wonderful time. We made a lot of great memories. Time has gone by so fast. I have one daughter who is a high school English, one who is an accountant and one who is a technical executive. My son works for Coke and is in his second year of college. I have two grandsons in their second year in college. One of my granddaughters is an RN, one is a chef in Chicago.
