Oh, The Smell of 2-Mama's Rolls

By John Ogles (2-Mama's grandson, Nana's son)

There are hundreds I could tell but I remember staying with her and 2-daddy several spring breaks and some weeks in the summer. I ended up working in her yard doing stuff she would have waiting on me to do for several months. Had a blast though. Food was awesome. One television with three channels. Channel 4 and 7 and PBS. Watched a lot of wrestling and Lawrence Welk. She had kept every Reader's Digest that was ever printed. I enjoyed that.

She had the best rolls but I remember one time I told her I wanted those instant rolls you buy. She cooked a big dinner for everyone and had instant rolls. When everyone asked her why she did not make her rolls she just said I wanted store bought rolls. I got some bad looks from a lot of people.

1984, John's law school graduation. 2-Mama, John, Josh, Chris, Matt, Brent and Shane.
