Pastries

Life as I know it began in Williamsburg VA. Howeveer when I was 3 months old, I came to Texas. My parents settled in East Texas with me. I remember several things about my first five years on earth. One of them was being a mascot for the Chapel Hill Bulldogs. Of course I may have mentioned in previous logs about my early years but something I haven't written about is the request that I made of my parents ---to have a sister or brother. That's when Cindy came aboard the family. I remember my grandparents from Dallas driving down from Dallas to pick me up thinking that would be a big help.Instead they took my mom's right hand man. On the way to Big D as I would call Dallas back then. I remember holding a handkerhief out the window and it blowing right out of my 5 year old hand. Cindy was olive complexion with brown eyes ,looking nothing like me. She was shorter too. She was always smarter than me but nowadays, she acts like no way. She had the priviledge to attend private Kindergarten. When we were bugging our daddy at school before it started in August, she begged me to take her on a book cart. I said ok except keep you legs up on the cart. I was 11 pushing her around the sidewalks of our Junior High school. Well apparently she dropped one of her legs and I ran right in to one of the h-beams they have on campuses nowadays. Of course the cart hit the spot right where her leg was and she cut her leg to the bone and had stitiches. She went to first grade ina wheelchair. She always made straight A's and did really well in school. She grew up, graduated from high school and was a dental assistant for a year before she went to school to be a teacher like me. Eventually she went back to school to be a school librarian. That is her current job. Along the way she married and had 2 girls, Aimee and Abbee. They have given her a lot of joy in her life. They are a lot of fun to be around. They are special little girls.
