My beginning...

According to my momma and the pictures I've seen I was a bald baby (just like my daughter and granddaughter ;)).

Jeanette says she used to walk me up and down the street because I had cholic and cried a lot. My daddy was at Central State when I was born and momma said that she thought it was traveling in the car with the windows open with me swallowing all that air that was to blame. Personally I think it may have been the stress she was under that was passed on to me.

Joyce was pregnant at the time and married. Jeanette was a teenager on the verge of getting married. Gene was 10 years old and not fond of the idea of a baby sister. According to all tales he fed me dog food...maybe that's why I have more of a fondness for dogs than cats. ;)

Momma said as I grew I stayed outside a lot. I now had blonde curly hair, brown eyes and was very brown. My daddy once accused her of messing around because I had blonde hair and his other kids had black hair. She informed him that he might ought to rethink that because I was the only one of the four of us who did look like him. Hehe. He had light hair and blue eyes. Momma was the dark-haired one.

I know I got lost a couple of times when they lived in Cleveland, Georgia. Momma said there was a pond in one direction and a mountain in the other. Both times she was terrified I had gone to the pond, but both times I headed in the other direction. Again, it was probably the dog food....I was following the dogs off. Guess I thought they were cousins or something. Hehe.

Well, Brittany & Jeanette, I hope you're happy. I'll be back later. :)
