Some of my most favorite memories of Grandpa Wayne.... When I was a little girl and he lived with us he had Coon dogs down at the barn one of them was a dalmatian. I would always go down to the barn and play with them. He would get so mad and yell at me and tell me that they're not nice dogs and I need to stay away from them. They were nice to me 😂. He had a carriage that his horses would pull and I remember him giving me rides and him doing weddings, I remember thinking it was the coolest thing in the world. Specifically one time it was just me and him and we were just in the wagon being pulled by the horses and he took us down through the ditches it was crazy. I remember going on a road trip with him up north. It was me Dillon and Morgan. He got so mad at me and Dillon for some reason and made us get out on a gravel road and he came back about a half an hour later. I remember when he would take me to go get Mickey mouse pancakes from four corners when he first started dating Jet. We had a mule named Cindy and I would sneak out to the pasture and pet her and Grandpa would get so mad at me and yell at me to get away from her. I remember we had a stump in the front yard with two nails on it. I would watch Grandpa from the living room chop the heads off the chickens. Surprisingly I wasn't terrified.
