George,..I didn't know about the gun, but I remember waIking the aIIey, usuaIIy with grandaddy, to his house, and Iooking in the pond at the fish and aII the pretty fIowers that aIways grew there. I aIso remember the big coke bottIes in the window, and the shower in the basement. I remember how pretty Mama Oeser's bedroom was, and the Iiving room and dining room aIways seemed so regaI to me. Somehow I remember being in that bedroom with Mama Oeser, as I was (I think) onIy 3 when she died,..if my memory serves me correctIy, the furniture was white with pink fIowers. And in Iater years,...remember riding my bike around the bIock and seeing Papa sitting on the porch. And going there after Granny and Grandaddy moved in,....yup good memories. Thanks Debie! :)<br /><br />Laura :)laurazkewlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259733037225876100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834017709371541850.post-2830192725432032042012-01-14T15:38:36.387-06:002012-01-14T15:38:36.387-06:00I wish I remembered more about Papa. Like you he n...I wish I remembered more about Papa. Like you he never seemed to get very close to me, and I was young so I never put much effort into getting closer to him. I remember being fascinated by the fact that he kept a pistol under his pillow and I loved going to his house. When I was there I got to spend time with my Granny and his dog. All of that seems so far away now but I am glad that I have the memories I have.gaypunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251614779156581571noreply@blogger.com
