Mother and Grandmother

I had the most excellent role model. Vera Lee Newman was the poster for homemaker, Mother and Grandmother
She was loving, kind and the best cook.
Mother loved her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She was willing to do what was in her power to help. She babysat, loaned, housed, fed and loved.
My Daddy James Benson Dodson came along for the ride.

Daddy was pretty much shifted from place to place growing up until he went to live with my Aunt Elsie. His Mother died when he was young and his Father was not able to deal with and support 6 children.

When Mother came along, she made a home for him. He worked hard to support that home and Mother.
