Aunt Annie's Baby Booties

This adorable article submitted by Phyllis Brooks, the daughter of Annie Spinks, only highlights the love and devotion of one of my favorite aunts:

Back in the summer of 2003, mama started talking about our baby booties. One day she mentioned that she had found a company that would bronze things. After that, I didn't hear another word about baby booties until at Christmas. That year mama presented each of us with our Baby Bootie. Leave it to mama to pull one over on us.
