I think Peanut looks so sweet here. This was taken in Spring of 2006 in Norman, OK. We’d gone down to visit my dad, Grandpa Joe and his wife, Miss B in the small town they live in, Davis, OK. Since there isn’t much there except for one stoplight, a “new” post office [erected about 30 years ago], and a Mexican restaurant that has the best mug of beer in the history of my drinking [they somehow grind up the pulp of limes and put it on the rim of the chilled mug, like salt on a margarita - we've tried to replicate to no avail], they decided it would be fun to drive an hour north to go to a natural history museum. The kids [only 2 at the time] loved it.
Anyway, this pic makes me think of how sweet and trusting and innocent she is. How she will try anything at least once. I’ve not known her to have a bad time trying something new. And it’s also a little foreshadowing, though not for her. Bubba wants to be an archaeologist when he grows up. As for Peanut, I’m pretty sure that she could end up being anything she sets her mind to.
