...standing out front of their house looking at it, this is taken to the left of the house... about halfway down the house, there begins a white picket fence, yes, you see it folks, white picket fence... ...going around the entire yard... that is (I think the ladies name was Mrs. Crawford--that will work for now...in the background, where I used to go swing and ate great apple pies... ...from right to left is my grandfather(what I would give for one more story), my grandmother Mama Pat, and her mother Granny (Mintie Amelia Cooper McLeod)...and next to her is Mama Pat's brother-in-law Brice Green, Jr... otherwise known as "uncle" to everyone... he was married to Mama Pat's sister Edith Ioma Cooper and they lived out in the "piney woods" of Tyler in a log house with a stone fire place surrounding by trees, mountains and this great stream, and we could just walk for hours... ...remember how it was safe to walk in the woods then... on the picket fence all the way around were roses... my grandmother loved flowers... and my grandfather loved her...

...my grandfather was a wood worker, and one of his greatest projects was "Ida Red" the boat he built... ...he worked on this with my father and on his own, and it was something he was most proud of... I remember many fishing trips in the Ida Red... she was handcrafted with love...
...I can only imagine what my grandfather, Papa, was like as a very young boy... I believe he would be somewhat like Huck Finn in that he had quite a wondrous and adventuresome spirit.. I am sure he was quite confident and had lots of girls dreaming about him...he was quite good looking, and a gentleman any mother would be proud of...
...in the front of this photo, to my left, is my grandmother (Ethel Patterson) and next to her is her mother, "Granny" Mintie Amelia Cooper McLeod...directly behind Granny is Papa Pat, my wonderful grandmother Jesse Patterson... next to him is a mystery to me...but most likely a neighbor or friend over visiting... they had lots of neighbors and friends...on either side of the house they are standing in front of, their duplex... grew 4 to 5 foot hydrangas--pink, purple, white, blue--they were beautiful...and see all those beautiful trees in the background... they were everywhere... I used to grow across the street to the house you can see on the other side and play on the swing... the nice lady neighbor friend living there had a "slow" son who was (what I would guess considering I was only about 10 years old then) maybe anywhere from 18 to 20 or so... ...he was nice, too... ...she baked the best apple pies, and my grandmother would bake chocolate pies and take to her, and she would bake apple and take to her... life was truly great back then...

...this is behind the house... the room right behind Papa was where Granny Cooper stayed... they built that on extra for her... my grandfather was not only a carpenter, but a woodworker working with trees (cypress was one of his favorites) making furniture... to the right of that room, which you can see sticks out, is the back porch, and OH what a wonderful porch that was... screen in on three sides with the coolest breeze running thru it and the most comfortable feather bed in the history of mankind... ...I know, I slept there... ...when I was not down there spending time with them, Mama slept in their bedroom in the front, which was filled with quilts and all kinds of wonderful knick-knacks... as I said, Mama loved flowers, and this was one of her many wysteria around the back yard... it was just gorgeous in full bloom... and when the wind blew on a cool spring day, there was nothing better....
