Nannie was always at least 50% of the reason I kept this blog. She always had something encouraging and southern to say. She lived much of her life gladly and graciously letting Pop be in the spotlight. She sent sweet emails to Nate. She helped make sure our family could visit Virginia every year. She was a lovely host. One of my favorite places--ever--to go growing up was Hanshill, where she and Pop spent every summer. She was just a wonderful grandmother.

Super sweet- wonderful memories for you to have of a very special lady
I love the sweet photo of Nannie with Lucy. Even though it was not that many years ago, she looks so young and pretty. You alluded to Nannie's generosity, and I echo that thought. She thought $9.99 was a reasonable amount to spend on new pants for herself, but a few years back she would spend $50a month on live worms for bluebirds! And she gave a hefty sum every year to the employee education fund at the facility where she lived. And Wounded Warriors. She remembered the birthday of every grandchild and great grandchild. When we had family parties in recent years, she insisted on picking up the tab since she was not able to contribute a cooked item to the mix. There are so many things I will miss about Nannie, Mama to me. Thank you for writing this particular post. Love you!
