Friends and neighbors Lowell and Imogene celebrated their
50th anniversary over the weekend.
He worked at the power company for years and all of us
neighbors would call him every time the power went out. Lowell always has a big garden, lots of corn
and beans and taters.
Imogene used to keep kids (like a daycare), and helped raise
all of ours. Bless her heart, she taught them to love green beans and homemade biscuits
and mac-n-cheese and cornbread and soup beans, to take naps, to play well with others.
Imogene and I were expecting babies at the same time, we
rode to the doctor together since it was so far (over an hour each way), and
our babies Amanda and Melissa were born 2 days apart (2 of the 5 born that year
on our little road, yes the year the convicts were working on the road…)
It was good to see all the neighbors and friends, folks we
haven't seen in a long time, except sometimes in passing on the road. Glad the
kids did this for their folks!
