Reflections on Life and Lavender

Winnie and Bit

​Winnie’s first memory was of her father being laid out for burial.  He was wearing bright white socks. She was 2 ½.

The day that her father was buried, her Grandfather Napier came and took Winnie and her mom Ruth and her little sister Jeanette and big brother Son to his farm in Alabama. This was where she swept the dirt in the front yard and caught frogs with her cousins. It’s where she was pulled from quicksand by her brother hanging down from a tree limb. It’s where she and as many uncles, aunts and cousins as could squeeze into (or hang onto) her grandfather’s new car would ride into town for supplies.  This was where she learned the strength of family.
