Aundree

Aundree Coker Brewer Aundree was affectionately known in our family as MeeMaw . She was the mother to my father in law, grandmother to my husband and great grandmother to my children. Aundree passed away last week .

Now, I have to start out by admitting that I didn't know MeeMaw all that well until after her health started to decline. My idea of her personality may be a little tilted in favor of "Happy Go Lucky" (you would be to if you took some of the stuff they had her on :) but even when everything was on kilter, the vibe that Aundree put out in this world, as the minister said at her funeral, was much more "ragtime" than "waltz" MeeMaw loved to cook. I first encountered garlic in a jar at her condo....

I recently had some difficulty uploading photos to our local newspaper's online Bluffton Today feature . I promptly sent up smoke signals for help and just as promptly received help from BT's web guru Lisa. It was quickly discovered that I mostly just need to curb my enthusiasm with the shutter button and lower my Free Gallery expectation level from Limitless to Three. That and quit being so impatient, stop with the multiple clicks per second, etc However, due to my over abundance of pictures and desire to categorize and sub- categorize them all, Lisa asked if I'd like to be a SPOTTER - translated: volunteer community photographer with galleries to spare I wasted no time with my "Heck, Yeah!" and went in to their offices (despite rainy conditions) the following day ,to get things all set up. They took a head shot for my official "She's With Us" press badge (how exciting, no?) and gave me box of "You've Been Spotted" business cards ...
