Today would have been my Mamawapos;s 105th birthday. She took Mom, Kenneth and I in when Mom and Dad divorced. We lived in a 2 bedroom house in one of the poorest�areas of Bowling Green. She watched us boys while Mom worked at the drug store, starting out at the soda fountain, then cosmetics girl and eventually becoming a pharmacy tech before she retired after her accident in 1997. Mamaw didnapos;t play. I�canapos;t count the number of peach tree switches I was made to cut for myself . She was a wonderful cook and made so many quilts I canapos;t count them. I wish I still had one of them.

One of my favorite memories of Mamaw from my childhood was walking to town on the first after her check came. It was exactly two miles to the square from her little house in�Delafield. She would take me by the�hand and�pack Kenneth�on her hip, and she was in her 60s then.�Weapos;d walk to town, cash her check, get us each a prize at the Woolworthapos;s on the square and then go to Houchens on College Street for groceries. Because of the groceries, weapos;d get� a cab home. I�fell in love with the soaps at Mamawapos;s.�We had one tv back then and if you wanted to watch tv in the afternoon. You watched her "stories." Edge of Night and As the World Turns were her favorites, until Edge moved to ABC from CBS. Then it was General Hospital and Edge of Night. We also watched Search for Tomorrow and Love of Life in the mornings.

When I was in third grade, she fell off the porch and broke her hip. It didnapos;t stop her, though.�Within 6 months, she was back walking us kids totown at the beginning of every month.�By then, Kenneth was old enough to� walk on his own, so she took us both by the hand and tugged us along. A year later, Mark came along. When I was 16, she broke the tother hip. She was standing by our mailbox, when a drunk came barrelling� a long and knocked her into the fencerow. Again, it didnapos;t stop Mamaw.�She never walked to town again, but she got around pretty well still. He was one of the strongest women I know.�Thatapos;s where Mama and Aunt Nancy get it from. We lived with her until I was 17, when the urban renewal program came through and tore down Mamawapos;s old house and relocated her about a block from the old house..�We were considered "tenants." so they paid our rent somewhere for a year.� mamw fell again and broke her hip one more time after we moved out.�The cousins and I took turns staying with her. Eventually Ronnie moved in permanently. Mamaw died in 1986, almost a year before Margaret came along.

I donapos;t have a picture of Mamaw on a disc or anything, so I canapos;t post one, but hereapos;s a couple of me back then.�
