Effie Nell was a dear friend of my family at McKinley Avenue UMC in San Antonio in the 50's. Yesterday her great grandson was baptized in our church. It was fun to catch up with her and her growing family. (Photo by her grandson, Larry Grimes.)

Baby sitting

PICT1126, originally uploaded by THOS.

Grandma and grandpa entertain Evelyn while her parents have a fancy dinner out with friends. She was bright-eyed and active most of the evening, enjoying the attention and hating to drink from her bottle (not so good as mommy). She did like a show on Hawaiian volcanos and surfing and songs at the piano.
