She and her brother decided to race around a church building in opposite directions. When they crashed into each other, Mom ended up with blood pouring from her forehead. Grandma thought Mom would die, but she survived, with only a scar to show for it.

While Ruth and I were on vacation this month, we took a new route to Destin. In MS I saw a sign pointing to the town of Walnut. Sounded familiar. I called Mom. She verified it was the place where she lived when the accident occurred. She also said it was the church her dad was Pastor of when he enlisted as an Army chaplain in WW2.

Ruth and I wheeled into the town, and found the church. I sent pictures to mom. It seemed to please her that the church building was still there.
