Granny lived such an interesting life. I have so many questions I never asked and now there is no one left to ask. My father was the last in the family. Granny was one of the first successful businesswomen in San Antonio in a man’s world. She owned the stables in a park close to downtown here. The horse business was very much a man’s world but she could hold her own. She ran with an interesting crowd. If you have never heard of Red Berry, google him sometime. He shot and killed two men ..two different occasions, before being elected a Senator here in Texas. I remember sitting around the breakfast table listening to them talk.

She sounds amazing. One of my biggest regrets is that I never had the chance to get to know my grandparents and parents as an adult. My family is short lived.

It's one of the reasons that I believe that we should respect our elders. They have much to teach us.
