Mary and Bud
Had a little prewar romance
And here we all are.
A glance,
A word in someone’s ear,
A chance taken…
And here we all are
United in thanksgiving for
This family built
From milk and hair pins.

(Daddy is saving some of my Aunt Marilyn's Persimmon Pudding - hope it keeps until Christmas!) Today's poem is short & sweet - about my dairyman grandfather & his lovely hairdresser bride. I've used this picture of them several times now - and wouldn't you if they were your grandparents? Such pretty people...

This is a wonderful poem! "built from milk and hair pins". My family must of been built from delicious food and beer. LOL My mom was a cook and my dad worked at the beer store. Despite not being in Carolina, I really do hope that you and Michael enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, full of blessings.
