Pee Paw with Grandkids

1956-07(03)RobertJLandrySrJuly 1956 – My paternal grandfather was named Robert Joseph Landry, Sr., but was known to his grandkids as Pee Paw.  Here he is with three of the older grandchildren.  I think that is my oldest sister Jodie right in front of him.  I was told that the other two are my first cousins Doug Winn and Mark Reeves. Pee Paw was an avid fisherman and enjoyed letting the kids see the big ones he caught.   This is one of several old color slides that I scanned and posted onto Facebook.

 

Mother’s Day 2011

July 5, 1963 – Betty Lou Bucklin Landry fixing shrimp creole for the gang at the old Dupuy house in Jennings, Louisiana. It was her youngest daughter’s first birthday, so I’m sure she made a cake, too!

Here is a photo of my mom – Betty Lou Bucklin Landry – from July 5, 1963. She’s the best mom in the whole world!

Christmas 1977 – Getting rough on the court!

Thinking of Christmases in the past…Scanning old slides today. This one if from 1977. That’s Ernest Woolley in the red sweater, Toni Pilcher in the blue jean ensemble, Sylvia on the ground, Alma with the ball, Betty with Charla’s hand on her hip, and Grandma (Myrtle Bucklin – the matriarch) in one of the most entertaining basketball games I’ve ever seen!
