Today would have been Mama Lena's 114th birthday: It's News to Me

Today would have been Mama Lena's 114th birthday

While I was in Georgia for the reunion on Saturday, I went by the cemetary where my ancestors are buried and took this picture of the headstone at my grandparents' grave. Today would have been my paternal grandmother's 114th birthday. She was known as Mama Lena, and her husband, for whom I am named, was known as Daddy Perry. In honor of him, I have chosen to have my grandchildren refer to me as Daddy Perry.
