early days with our little family in Comanche

I found a group of old snapshots made when Bill and I were quite young.  Thought I would make a short slideshow with one of the songs Mother used to sing as a lullaby to Bill.

The first picture is from Easter 1943.  You can't see it in the photo but I was sitting in the back yard of our house on the De Leon highway.  In front of me was a huge blue potted hydrangea that Daddy gave Mother that day.

 The person in some of the car photos is my cousin, Cleve B. Denny.  He was aunt Alma and Uncle Harold's only son.  He had just come back from being in the Navy in WWII.

Bill Atwood my brother

My brother Bill (William Thurston) Atwood was born when I was four years and four days old. The first thing I remember about him was visiting in the hospital where he was born in Gorman, Texas and seeing his little feet with black ink on them where his footprints had been put on his birth certificate.

here's Bill at 2

Here"s a snapshot of my brother Bill Atwood taken by my Uncle Ed.  It was made in the little house that Uncle Ed and Aunt Laura had next door to their hatchery in Comanche.  I think Bill was 4 years old.
