I had such an interesting night tonight. We visited my Aunt Janice and Uncle Terry (“Great” and “Unc” as they will be to Brittain). Although they live right here in Griffin, unfortunately life keeps us busy enough to the point that we’re not able to visit as much as we should, or would like to. Although it was sort of last minute plans, we had a wonderful visit and spent some quality time with family who all are a part of who Brittain is. We also had the pleasure of looking at some old photos of Brittain’s Great Aunt Janice and Duke as young children, as well as pictures of Grandmama and Pops who have gone on before us. (As a side note, “Grandmama” was alive to meet Brittain while she was still in my tummy, but didn’t make it to see her after she was born. It sometimes makes me sad to think about that, but it also makes me smile knowing how much she’s enjoying watching her from above.)
After enjoying some good ol’ Spalding County Fair corn dawgs, we settled down to visit with family and to reminisce about those who have gone before us. Here, Mimi and Brittain take a few moments to look at some old family photos:

These are a couple of pictures taken on my birthday. Here is Brittain and Pappy, another person who continues to influence in her life in so many wonderful ways:
