Dukes of Hazzard

I think I need to explain the music I have chosen for my playlist. These songs are not what I listen to on the radio! :-) I have chosen songs that I have a specific memory about. I had a very unique opportunity when I was little. My grandmother, Granny Mary and my great grandmother (Granny Mary's mother), Granny Lucy moved back in together after their spouses died. I called my Granny Lucy, "DeeDee". My family wasn't sure why, but instead of correcting me, they just went along with it. These Grannies spoiled me rotten. Starting at age two I spent every Friday night with them. And guess what we watched on tv together? The Dukes of Hazzard. I loved Bo Duke at a very young age. The Grannies loved watching me watch this show. Evidently I really got into it. They also made me homemade macaroni and cheese. Oh it was so good! Every Saturday morning they would take me to the hospitals in Little Rock to see the babies in the nursery. I have wonderful memories of these Grannies. My Granny DeeDee passed away when I was 5. My Granny Mary died when I was 13. I am so blessed to have had them in my life even if it was for a short time.

My daughter is so blessed because she has both sets of grandparents who are crazy about her!

I have such wonderful memories of my grandparents when I was little too! My poppa would take me to the dime store and buy me malted milk balls. They weren't pre-packaged like they are now.....you scooped them into a sack and weighed them. Memories....pressed between the pages of my mind.

I love the new look of your blog!
When I was little my Poppa called me "Sugarbowl" because I was so sweet he said. I don't have a vivid memory of my grandpa because he passed away when I was two, but I have the memories on VHS|tape thanks to my daddy's 8mm home movies. I need to find those tapes and make a DVD to last a while longer! Memories are priceless!
