The Ducks
Nathan attached himself to these ducks at Memaw and PaPa's house. I wanted to take a moment to write about them because both of them are "related" to my Grammie and Grandpa Simmons.
Nate's Great-Grandfather was a clown. He dressed up to make kids happy at church, parades, Shriner events, etc. He used this duck as part of his costume. All of the Grandkids and now the Great-Grandkids have pushed "Tuko Duck" around. He's been played with so much that my Aunt has needed to repair him several times. Grandpa Simmons would really get a kick out of the fact that this duck is still with us and being played with by his great-grandson.
This is a stuffed mallard that Grammie and Grandpa gave to Aunt K and UB a long time ago. It's just a doorstop, but Nate adopted him during our visit.
