Isn't this a great picture? Mignon looks like an angel in this shot that Uncle Leo me of he and Aunt Mignon, little Leo and Irene with my paternal grandfather in Texas. My grandfather, whom I saw so infrequently that I didn't have a grandfather name for him (my mom and I talked about him pretty often but just referred to him as "Dad's Dad"), lived in Spring Texas, only a few miles from where I live now and owned and operated an establishment of some sort out in the country. Judging from the background of this picture which I believe was taken out there, it was pretty successful. I think it had a swimming pool and a restaurant. Uncle Leo might want to add his two cents on this one since he's been there and since Uncle Leo is a regular contributor to my blog, making him
very importanttomadeleine! Dad's Dad was married to a woman who, after he died, moved to Lubbock to live with her daughter. Terry is from Lubbock and we went out to eat and visited her home there right after we got married. All I remember about that is that her home was kind of dark and had brocade-y type material in it. I don't even remember what we ate there which is unusual for me!
