The Real Party

On Grandmother's actual birthday on Sept. 5, 2011, we took a drive toPilot Grove down Ghost Holler Road to the home she grew up in from age 4 till marriage. She was courted by my Grandfather and married my Grandfather Richard in the parlor. The parlor is the room to the right of the front door. The home is beautiful and a young couple just purchased it to restore it as newlyweds.

Grandmother told us about her wedding day. She chose to walk down the stairs arm and arm with my Grandfather. She remembered her brother and sister in law standing at the bottom of the stairs holding her niece Darlene.


It was like she was 6 years old again when she entered her bedroom.

The parlor. Standing where she married Grandpa Richard.

It was a good day. One I will never forget. Happy Birthday Grandmother!
