Family Album

 

 An interesting place to begin

the black bars refuse to be trimmed off

or the photo enlarged.

This is my father, Thomas R. Moffett,

and his grandmother, Ethel Mae Welsh.

I knew her as Mamaw.

Married at 15 a mother at 16

of my grandfather.

Mamaw died when I was 13

so I remember her well

she loved me the daughter of her favorite grandchild

Sometimes I dream about her.

She told me her father was a child

when the South lost the Civil War

and their family moved in a covered wagon

from Mississippi to Texas. 

I found her mother's grave on-line

Nellie Breedlove.

I can't remember if the photo above is in another of my books.

I think it was taken last Easter, 2025

in the yard at Massey's Chapel.

While I was a pastor

our son, daughter-in-law, and their children

came to church on Christmas Eve and Easter.

In the background is the church's pollinator garden.

Our son, Eric, and family:

Rachel, Michelle, and Zach

among the sunflowers

summer 2025

Here is everyone in the Escape House

on our recent (Sept. 2025) trip to Myrtle Beach.

We solved the riddle and escaped the house

with 10 minutes to spare

no thanks to me. 

Michelle, Zach, and I are holding

fake gold nuggets.

It was really a search for treasure.

This is a nice photo of Keith and me

taken some time ago (more than 5 years, less than 10)

when we were living in Durham.

As I recall, it was taken at a Christmas party.

There's really no need for this sunset photo

of a lovely gibbous moon

partly blurred by clouds

I just like it.
