My family heritage is deeply rooted in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, hence the name of my website, Pigeon Creek Primitives, after Pigeon Creek, in Johnson County, Kentucky.  The photo above is of my great grandparents, my granny's mom and dad and my dad's maternal grandparents, whom I never got to meet as they passed away before I was born.  I am sure that the values that they passed on to my granny, and her to her sons, are a part of who I am today.  My granny, Martha E. Cochran Bayes passed away in 1997 at the age of 101, just 2 and a half weeks before she would have turned 102.  My dad passed away last February and I expect that they all were waiting to meet him, when he took that final breath, with hugs and kisses, rejoicing that he had "come home" at last.
