5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

My mother’s mom was born in Carbon, Texas (1919): eldest of 13 children, she tended to her siblings and worked on quilts while her parents worked in cotton fields (her parents were sharecroppers).

My grandmother first met her husband (who was 13 years older than her) when he was newly appointed to be a Deputy Sheriff: He was a part of the team of sheriff’s who were charged with finding the Santa Claus Robbery suspects. They married on October 13th, 1929 and ten years later, they gave birth to my mother (July 1939).

My grandfather and my oldest son (Lee) share the same birthday: August 13th.

Both of my parent’s mothers shared identical first and middle names: Vera Lee.

Nine years after I was born (May 1959), two of my grandmother’s brothers – Uncle Elmer and Uncle Luther – came to visit my grandparents that year. I remember them singing a song to me, The Yellow Rose of Texas, on the front lawn on a hot summer-like night for my birthday and presented me with 9 hand-picked yellow roses off of a favorite rose bush in my grandparents back yard.
