There is so much I want to tell about my mom. She was spunky. She loved life, her family and had fun!! She never met a stranger. She was an adventuress. She was ahead of her times. She left home at 16 after high school to go north to work. She came back to Arkansas. On a drive after seeing the recruiting poster “Join the Navy and See the World”, they did, right then! After the war, she painted her nails, wore high heels after the war went to college, worked and married my dad. She went back to work later to buy us a piano. When it was time for us to go to college, she returned to teaching. She was amazing. She was my mom.
This is the note Mom left in her mom’s white pitcher.
Belonged to my mother came off a Dredge Boat near farm 3 mi from Peach Orchard [Arkansas] The boat was left by co- Ti Ti and my mom looked after it for a time. The oak library table was a part of parlor furniture bought with money they were paid- Possibly around 1920’s.
I love this pitcher. It does not match anything except my heart.
My mom left a legacy for us women in our family. Steadfast, hardworking, generous and believing.
Mom treasured this white cracked pitcher. Her mom died when Mom was 11. Mom was a child of the depression.
The note’s a piece of the story of a family living in the Arkansas delta. Dredge boats used frequently in the north Arkansas delta. Her mom, Alma was pretty like Mom and sang at all the revivals.
Surviving family pictures match the stories of a poor family in the depression years. Alma is the one with the songbook.
So here on a snowy day, I remember my mom and her story.
Now, I treasure the white pitcher. I miss my Mom.
blessings, linda

What a beautiful tribute to your mom and to Alma. The white pitcher carries so much more than its cracks—it holds the story of a family in the Arkansas delta, a mother lost too soon, and generations of steadfast women. Thank you for sharing this.

What a beautiful tribute to your mom and the stories carried by that white pitcher. The details about her life, from leaving home at sixteen to returning to teaching so you could go to college, really capture her strength and spirit. The note about the dredge boat and Alma singing at revivals makes the family history feel vivid and deeply rooted in the Arkansas delta. It is touching how an object can hold so much memory and love.

What a beautiful tribute to your mom and to Alma. The white pitcher carries so much history, from the dredge boat near Peach Orchard to the parlor table bought in the 1920s, and it’s lovely that such a simple, cracked object can hold a family’s whole story. Her independence and determination come through so clearly, and the note she left makes it feel like she’s still speaking to you. Thank you for sharing her.

I enjoyed reading this post.
I was always so proud to say she was my big sister, she was so glamorous and so much fun. She was like Daddy and Son with her playful nature. Sis and Son did have a rough time when they were young but they were loved by all of us. I have many great memories of her.

I know she loved you, all of you. Love you Sandy.

Aren’t they!Thanks for taking a look.
