Yes, we were playmates . . .

My aunts tell us that when I was born in Columbus, GA, Mother’s best friend was holding her hand. As soon as I was born she said “I’m going home and start our family. I’ll have a girl for him to marry”. True to her word, she returned to Marianna, FL and 10 months and 2 days later she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. 21 years later (June 30, 1962), her earthly Mother and Father gave her to me as my wife. But I know where she really came from! House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD. Pro 19:14!”

And here’s the proof that Harriet was a beautiful baby!    image0

Don’t know just how old she was when this was taken.!

Harriet was 3 years old and I was 4 when this was taken.  We were playmates when our families visited between our homes in Columbus, GA and Montgomery, AL.

I’m still peddling hard to try to keep up with her!
