THE BOOK
Since my parents were divorced, my sister and I spent a lot of time with our grandparents. I was fortunate to have the best grandparents on both sides of my family. When I was with my dad, Paula and I stayed with Grammy and Daddy Guy. When I was with Momma, we lived across the street from my other grandparents, Mama-Bedie and Pop.
During the summer of 1964, my dad took Paula and me to Disneyland. On the way home, Dad bought us a pet parrot. We were so excited because now we had a playmate for our pet chihuahua, Cha-Cha. The parrot’s name was Mack and the previous owner suggested we keep the parrot’s name since Mack was very familiar with it. Bringing the new pet home to Grammy’s was so exciting.
