Down our Road by Mary Mullen, March 1974




Another column written by my great-granny in 1974. My scanner is not working, and it was very hard to get clear photos. Hope you can read it, because it tickles me a lot...

  1. Oh I love this! Do you have an old shoe anywhere for baby birds?!

    And is this your daddy's mamma?

    I'll need to go back & read this a few times to really taste it all. Thanks for sharing.

    1. There was an old shoe nailed to the wall, a vintage purse with the clasp open, and a graniteware saucepan hanging with the bowl to the wall that always had bird nests in them the whole time I was growing up! The purse has finally rotted away (it was purple velvet at one time!) but the pot is still hanging and the perfect spot for small birds :). This was my dad's grandma, my great-granny, born in 1900. She passed when I was 12 and was one of my favorite people in the world. She is the one that I frequently mention in my posts...
