Dad and his family used to visit his cousins Elma, Jeanette, Patsy, Corrine and James, his Aunt Jo and her husband Carl Miller a couple of times a year. The
first time Dad took Mom to Brentwood was on March 27, 1938. Mom wrote that
there were fourteen family members for lunch in a small home. Everyone welcomed
her and “treated me grand”. When they got back to the Pattillo home that
evening Gramma served ice cream and showed Mom some of Dad’s baby photos.
They visited their Brentwood family again in August. What
most impressed mom were the peaches, nectarines and honey-dew melons that Jo
sent home with them. Mom remembered those peaches and mentioned them for the
rest of her life.
In this photo they are sitting on the bumper of Dad’s 1936
Chevrolet. The photo was taken at Jo’s home. Mom is looking very stylish in that
suit – no doubt another of her creations.
