NAKED AND FUNNY WATCH HOW TO
She taught all of her Grands how to fish. Josie was the “Fishin’ Lady of Texarkana” in earlier years. Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’” Josie lived and exampled what Jesus told us to do in Matthew, ” For I was hungry and you gave Me food I was thirsty and you gave Me drink I was a stranger and you took Me in I was naked and you clothed Me I was sick and you visited Me I was in prison and you came to Me. She instilled in them her Gift of Hospitality. Or, if you complained to her, she would say, “Stop pissin’ and moanin'”. She was a prankster and got a good laugh if someone fell or if she could scare someone. She may throw a shoe or a hair brush at you and say, “Watch out for that big rat!!”, or tell you to “Taste of this.
She may not hug you big or shout out an “I LOVE YOU”, but there was never, ever, a doubt of her love.
Josie had a love for her family that was bigger than the sky. She wanted everyone to smile and hold their shoulders up. She was always, ALWAYS, Fancy, Beautiful and Sparkly, Cheery and Bright, Fun and Funny. If you ever met Josie, “Mimmie”, “Aunt Josie”, “Mutt”, “Mrs McBay”, you never forgot her. Her favorite was “Orange Blossom Special”.
Josie loved the laughter and music and danced a jig every time “the boys” would play. The first time that Pappaw met Josie, he said, “That one’s for Turner”. All of them sang and the boys all played instruments. When Josie married Turner, she gained the best in -laws a girl could ever have, “Jessie and Fred McBay”. One of her elementary teachers picked on one boy, and she fussed at the teacher because of it. She has many stories of having to punch someone, for goodness’ sake. During school, if she knew that someone was being a bully, she would “let them have it” and made sure they didn’t hurt anyone again. She plucked chickens and milked cows and drew water and helped tend to her siblings. As the 4th of 10 children, she learned to plant and plow and pull the garden and prepare and cook the bounty to feed all that were hungry. She never backed down from a challenge and was forever ready to get her work done, and believed everyone had a job to do. Josie lived a life filled with hard work and laughter and fun and mischief.
