Granddaddy Ray

When I was a little girl around 7 years old, Mamoo and Granddaddy Ray would babysit for me. I had such a good time at their house in Lake Garfield, Florida. First I went grocery shopping with them after Granddaddy got off work. Then we would come home and cook breaded shrimp. I loved that. My mother rarely would fix that. Then Granddaddy would take me to the drive in movie in Bartow to see a couple of cowboy movies. Usually Mamoo would stay home and watch the Grand Ol' Opry. Granddaddy always made it fun and I loved going to the movie with him. He was such a sweet man. Mamoo was just as sweet. We would climb up in their big bed and sleep under these home made quilts. They babysat alot with us and we really loved them. Mamoo cooked this wonderful fried corn bread doughnuts. She was also really good at chicken and rice. Really anything she cooked was good. She was a country type woman. We could climb up into her lap and be rocked. She always smelled so sweet.
