Pine Bluff Video - Times they are a-changing

 

 

 My wife grew up in Pine Bluff, AR and it was a thriving town back in the 1970's when we met at college. Things sure have changed over the years. I knew many of her family moved out of the city , but we did not realize the sad state of Pine Bluff now. Until we watched this video by Peter Santenello

remembering those who died for our country "Hymn to the Fallen"

Remembering two mother's in Heaven

 Since it was Mother's Day this month, I am remembering these two sisters who were such good mothers. This is a photo I took and I think  this was the last time they got to see each other in person. Mom's sister, Aunt Louise and my mother, Martha - taken outside Aunt Louise's home in  Jefferson City, TN.  I will always remember how long they hugged and cried to be together again! 

Now they are in Heaven together.  O Happy Day!
