How time flies

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Carol
This picture from the 2007 reunion is a good reminder of how quickly time flies. Now Anna is married, Sammi D is a sophmore in college, and the younger girls are almost as tall as I am.   I am looking forward to their contributions to this reunion.  What ideas will you share, young folks?

Papaw and Carona Fishing

Posted on May 22, 2011 by Carol

Papaw and Carona fishing

 

It was a happy day when I found this picture in Mother’s old papers.  So far as I know, this is the only candid picture we have of Carona.  It is clear she is an integral part of Papaw’s life support system.  How blessed we are to have had her looking after all of us.

The most memorable fishing story I know was that one day PaPaw fell from the boat.  Franticaly, Uncle Jeff (or somebody) tried to pull him up, but to no avail.  As panic began to set in, everyone realized that Papaw was, for some unknown reason, holding onto some roots in the bottom of the lake.  Finally, the others were able to free him and bring him to safety.

Does anyone remember this story?  Do I have the facts correct (or sort of correct)?

Mothers Day 2011

Posted on May 13, 2011 by STyler

For Mothers Day this year we all went to Johnny’s house in Olive Branch. Anna had just graduated from Blue Mountain the day before, and there was lots of preparation done (and lots left) for Anna and Mattswedding next weekend. We said Happy Hearts and enjoyed burgers on the grill… mom’s favorite.

Introducing …

Posted on May 9, 2011 by STyler

… the new and improved Landrum-Walters family website.

This is an example of how we will begin to chronicle our rich family heritage.

I’m pretty sure Mom is pregnant with Johnny in this photo, and apparently she is the only one that didn’t get the memo that there was no smiling allowed during pictures. :)
