There was a time in my life, a happy time, when I was young and lived with my grandmother.
She was a tall sturdy woman; she wore a cotton dress with a clean apron every day. I remember the orange cotton stockings and black tie-up shoes, with thick heels. Her hair was gray and pulled back in a bun, where the rest of it showed some waves throughout, as though rebelling.

When I was growing up, things were different then they are now. During the ‘30s and even into the 40’s times were tough for lots of people, until the war was over.

A Typical Thanksgiving Day
For Mack Braziel and family 50 years ago
We would plan and look forward to Thanksgiving Day for a week or two.
On Thanksgiving Day, we got up early and headed out to some of our families house. Sometimes we went to our parents, sometimes to Viola’s sisters or to the home of Viola and myself.
