“Howdee”

This greeting you see in the title came from one of my favorite aunts who is gone now, Clydene Swinney. She was a large woman with a larger heart. Whenever you came to her house or came to visit her in the retirement home or rest home in later years you would be greeted by “Howdee”.

My Wonderful Aunt Clydene

My aunt was from Enid, Oklahoma and her southern hospitality and warm loving heart will stay with me forever. She was the world’s best cook, sorry mom, and you knew she loved you. I don’t want to ever forget the people who made me who I am today. Thanks aunt Clydene.
