Banjo Picking
My favorite memories of Papaw was sitting and the porch watching him pick the banjo. It was so amazing and mesmerizing listening to him play! He always had that sly smile and was ready to cut up with anyone. What I’d give to hear another story he told, even My Big Toe.
Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven
Mamaw called me Kate so much, I’m not sure she knew my name was Kayla. She was spunky, fun, always ready to laugh, but quick to get the fly swatter when we needed it. I know my mama misses her so much and I sure do too!
