I’m so glad you got this. We dropped the ball at Natalie’s wedding.

I was so thankful Terry and Sheila were there. Terry went around and talked to so many people. I couldn’t and felt like that made us look aloof and unfriendly. I’m glad Terrell filled that need! Thank you, Bud! Terrell Shaw

Time Machine: Mother's Chandelier

The date of this picture is approximate. If anyone has a more accurate date let me know. Mother moved to this house on Rollingwood Circle in Rome late in 1997. Mark Crouse who is on my shoulders in the picture was born in May of 1997. I'd say he is two or three in this picture. So we'll put this in September 1999.

Mother loved to shop the thrift shops, Hospitality House, ReStore, and Salvation Army. The Salvation Army thrift store in the late nineties was in the little shopping center on the west side of Huffacre Road at Shorter Avenue. That's where she found and bought this light fixture. During one of his visits to Georgia my nephew, her grandson, Gil Crouse Jr set about installing it over Mother's dining table. 

Gil often found similar very practical ways to be of service to his grandmother when he visited her. 

Here he is assisted by his father, Gil Sr. while I observe with Gil's boys, Mark and Lewis.
