Farewell to 659 Daingerfield Street

This past weekend we made the trip to Pittsburg, Texas to visit my Grandmother in her house for the last time. My Grandmother and Granddaddy built this house the year I was born. I have fond memories of spending holidays there and playing with my cousins for hours in the "toy closet." Grandmother is moving in with my aunt and uncle who are relocating to Lindale. It was sad to say goodbye to this house we all grew up visiting, but I know Grandmother will be happy and able to relax in her new home. Caroline gets time with her great grandmother in this picture. I'm glad she got to visit this house before the big move! Abby had fun on the trampoline.

She also had fun playing with these necklaces Grandmother got in Hawaii. We went through lots of keepsakes this weekend. Grandmother let Abby have these for playing dress up.
Pops entertains Garrett and Abby.
Abby and Bubba draw their names for the Christmas gift exchange this year. Lots of quilts are in these pictures. Each grandchild got to pick one. They were made by our great, great grandmothers.

Natalie,
I understand your good memories of your Grandma's house in Pittsburg. My Grandparents that live in Brewton, AL moved into their house the day that I was born. I have so many wonderful memories of visits to their place growing up. I took our girls out there in the Spring.

It was definitely a special weekend. I am also glad that your family could be there, and that Abby and Caroline will have these pics to look at one day. Thanks for sharing this special time!
