Remembering Mam-Ma Baggett this week!

Mildred Baggett was born 100 years ago, January  22, 1914.  She was called "Mam-Ma Baggett" by everyone who knew her, including the preacher. 

To remember her this week, Cindy cooked Mam-Ma Baggett's special spaghetti recipe for us to enjoy!

Grandparents are special

Two people who made a distinct impression in my life were my grandparents - Rev. John Sherman and Ethel Mae Allen Rice.  I remember our many visits to their home in Sandy Mush, North Carolina. They always had a special treat, usually ice cream, for us to enjoy when we arrived.  This photo was taken in April of 1960, probably Easter Sunday. My mother, Martha, was the youngest of their three children.   

Great Memories!
