Edna & Lila, cousins ~ wading through the flooded cornfields in Boswell, Oklahoma
Today I am thinking of Lila Jane Warren. My “grandma”. (on the right) She was born on July 3, 1909. I think this may be the only childhood photo I have of her. Though the pic is old and faded, see her smile? It certainly never faded. You never left her house hungry OR empty-handed. She loved you and anyone that happened to be with you. She and Grandpa Bug raised eight pretty remarkable kids, too. They lived through some tough times. But much like the picture above, no matter how deep or murky life got, she just stepped a little higher, smiled, and moved forward. What great life lessons she has left with us. So, Happy Birthday, Grandma! I miss you everyday. Till we meet again~ ♥
stuff i tell my sister 
I LOVE this picture of your Grandma! What a special lady she sounds like:) My Mom was born in 1909 too. I wonder if she’s met your Grandma? I like to imagine things like that happening in Heaven:) Thanks for sharing your memories. Always a good way to start my day!
Wow….too cool they share the same birth years! (Hopefully they are having a nice chat together, sipping sweet iced tea!) This is a fav pic of mine. With not that many photos taken then, I would like to know who took this, etc. Thanks for reading, Jeannette ~ Have a good one! ♥
sitting in the porch swing 🙂 maybe even some watermelon……
for sure!
What a nice tribute to your grandmother. I love the picture, it looks like they’re having a lot of fun…
I would not have been smiling…I would have been watching for snakes!! 🙂
OMG…yes!

Awww..Today is my mom’s birthday too! Great picture of your grandma. 🙂
Happy Birthday to you mother ♥
Fantastic! My grandmother was born in 1904 in Kansas…they are of the same time and the photo is great! You are right, that smile seems like it would light up a room! 🙂
That’s awesome. Yep, sure do miss her. AND her wonderful southern cooking!! She never used a recipe either….but it was always perfect! ♥
What a great tribute to your Grandmother…..and now I know where you get YOUR spirit.. =)

♥ I’d love to think I have a smidge of her in me…. that would be an honor ~
Grandma Warren was awesome! Never sent me away empty handed, and always had hot Dr. Pepper in the kitchen.
oh yes….she did LOVE her D.P! haha
I miss my “grammy” to-born 1897-died 1993-she lived next door to me as a child, and I live in the house she raised my mom in now-I wrote down a lot of her stories. I hope to write some of them in my blog one day. Great memorial to her.
Wow….think of all the history in your home. That is awesome. I look forward hearing your grammy’s stories, retold by you! ♥
