Mary Belle
Mary Belle was born in rural Alabama.
She married Martin and had seven children.
She made the best cinnamon toast, biscuits and vegetable soup ever.
She didn’t drive until very late in her life.
She didn’t like riding over bridges
~ it was ironic because her husband built them.
Once she got out of the car and walked over the bridge
because she thought it wasn’t safe to ride over.
During a conversation, she would whisper words
she deemed inappropriate to say out loud.
She loved her family and her faith.
She didn’t like to have her picture taken.
It has been said that I look just like her, since the day I was born.
She told me once when I was a little girl
that as I got older I would forget about her,
I wouldn’t need her any more.
I have never forgotten you Grandma ~
I miss you since you have been gone.
Love, Debbie

Hi Debbie,
So sorry to hear about your phone but glad you got it back so soon. I use Verizon for my cell phone and I don’t have a land line anymore. We use cable for the DSL connection. There were times I’ve called both of them ready to “burst a vein” LOL, I had to laugh at your words on that one.
Your flowers are all so beautiful, I especially love that red lilly.
We’ve had that low pressure thing here all last week and I was glad to have it as it really cooled things off. And along with it, just the right amount of rain and some rumbling thunderstorms too, almost every day for awhile, then it would quit. It was great because I didn’t have to go out and water everything. I think you might be okay with it.
That was a beautiful story about your Gramma! I loved it. What a sweet name she had. She looks like she’s ready for anything in the second picture. She is so beautiful and what a special person. I love and miss my Gramma so much too and I will never forget her. I’m afraid to drive over high bridges too. Don’t ask me why, but I panic and I just can’t do it. I realized one time when I lived in Florida that I accidently happened onto the Skyway Bridge that connects Sarasota and Bradington, let me tell you, I was praying I would get acrossed it and since then I have never been able to drive over a high bridge again in my life.
I loved your answers to my little Meme, and after I read your comment I went in and updated it a bit so as to clarify my questions a little better. I’m kind of weird like that lol
Have a great day!
