Just remembering and showing a picture from 45+ years ago.

ELLA MAE TYREE CLARK, (my grandmother) lived until 1974
and her sister Lena Tyree Baker (my great Aunt) lived until 1979

Grandma, and Aunt Lena

In every adult,
I believe the heart of the child still beats,
and in that heart,
yesteryear will live forever.

Share with me those times that are no more.
Perhaps, in the sharing,
we will find that we are kindred spirits.
Come, take my hand.
******************************
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, MY GRANDMA AND HER SISTER SHOWED ME AND MY SISTERS HOW TO MAKE A DOLL OUT OF A ROSE OF TWO SHARON BLOOMS
(JUST LIKE PICTURED ABOVE) YOU WOULD TAKE THE LARGER 'OPEN' BLOOM, AND CAREFULLY BREAK IT OFF WITH ABOUT A HALF INCH OR SO OF STEM ON IT... NOW IT TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND MADE THE DRESS.. THEN TAKE AN UNOPENED BLOOM AND POKE A SMALL HOLE WHERE THE STEM WAS... (BREAK THE WHOLE STEM OFF OF THIS ONE) AND PLACE THE STEM OF THE LARGER BLOOM INTO THE HOLE IN THE SMALLER UNOPENED BLOOM... IT MAKES THE HEAD! 'OH, SHE WAS QUITE THE LADY' THEY WOULD SAY (I never put arms on mine, but if you would want arms, I suppose you could just stick part of the stems through the top of the 'dress') JUST ANOTHER SWEET MEMORY... HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT, OR GOT A LITTLE SMILE OUT OF IT! GOD BLESS

Precious Memories
Precious memories, unseen angels.
Sent from somewhere to my soul.
How they linger ever near me.
And the sacred past unfolds.
In the stillness of the midnight,
Echoes from the past I hear.
Old time singing, gladness ringing
.From that lovely land somewhere.
Chorus: Precious memories how they linger,
How they ever flood my soul.
In the stillness of the midnight.
Precious sacred scenes unfold.
As I travel on life's pathway,
I know not what the years may hold.
As I ponder hope grows fonder,
Precious memories flood my soul.
Chorus
