This is another favorite childhood picture. On my mom's side, I was the first-born grand & great-grandchild. I think these women pretty much think I'm the greatest thing in the world, don't you? How cool to have photographic proof that I am this loved. The enormity doesn't escape me. These women passed down a lot to me- faith, higher education, work ethic and a love of children. But let's be honest, all I really wanted was those EYES.
Bette Lee Rudd Nolen, Georgia Ann Nolen Gann, Mary Elizabeth Knox Rudd, April Elizabeth GannJust in case you thought Granny Rudd was looking a little frail in the picture above, check us out a few months later on the farm in Slidell, Texas. This woman had spunk! I'm so thankful for the years I got to spend with my Granny and that my parents frequently took us city kids to the Texas farm to ride tractors and wander around in our cowboy boots...
