Its has been a few days since I have sat down to post again. But here I am with another tidbit about the twins.
The twins continued to grow and learn. Their daddy could not tell them apart so he called them sweet pea and honey girls. It really bother their mother that Pappaw could not tell them apart when she had no trouble keeping them straight. Bless her heart. She kept up with all the works and the twins too.
They attracted attention where ever they went. One day a man came by with a pony. The girls of course wanted to ride the pony but Mamaw was not sure about this. She was always afraid something bad might happen to her girls. Remember these were her only children. Pappaw came by and said," Let the girls ride. I will watch and nothing will happen".
The man was so intrigued by the twins that he took a picture of them on his pony. We still have this picture. In this picture you can see why Pappaw had such a hard time telling them apart. The only way I know is that Mother told me she was the follower not the leader. Dorie is on front of the horse.
Mom says they had a great time that day. I can imagine. They got to ride a horse and got their picture made. Picture taking at this time was not the common thing. You did not whip out a cell phone and make a picture. They were about 6 years old. This would be 1927.
