the last of the Pace family that is older than me is my mom. My mom grew up an only child because her older sister died in childbirth. The country Dr. had crushed her skull during childbirth. She was the apple of her daddy's eye. She could do no wrong. She grew up and graduated from high school in Greenville after being named Band Sweetheart and she was Rodeo Queen at ETSU.She was a beautiful young woman and even Amber's boyfriend has said she's the prettiest old woman he's ever seen and she probably is. She reminded me of Inger Stevens who was blonde where my mom was darker headed. I don't want to say brunette but she was a chestnut brown. She stayed home with me as a young child and I remember hanging out clothes with her and she would feed all the cats in the country. I also was told when she was asleep one afternoon taking a nap. I opened the front door and preceeded to walk across the road or major highway to the high school across where my daddy taught. Since I'm alive to write about it, the owners of the cafe next door to the school saw what I'd done and ran out to grab me before I was hit by a car. I remember wanting a baby sister or brother and Cindy appeared out of nowhere. Mom started teaching when I was in 3rd grade and all the boys were in love with her. She has a beautiful smile with dimples and She stayed in Fourth grade until she went to the Library. She retired about 12 years ago. She has a love for her grandaughters and is always teaching them things as she goes about her daily chores. They all love her too. When I was 18 a lot of people thought we were sisters because I'm a blonde version of her.I wasn't ever chosen a beauty queen like her nor do I profess to be as beautiful. Of course she always had all these sayings about everything in life. She now helps my daddy on the place and takes care of the calves. She would sew all my school clothes and definitely preferred sewing to cooking. Cindy and I would keep her in a tizzy because we would fight like siblings do and she wasn't use to that being an only child. Anyway that's my Mom. So now I've introduced you to everyone in my family except my sister
