To “keep God at the center of your marriage” is some great advice that Grandma BETTY KING (Candler, North Carolina) shared with her granddaughter, MEGAN KING HOOPINGARNER (Murfreesboro, Tennessee). Megan says, “My grandma met and married my grandpa nearly fifty-nine years ago. Since Grandpa was active duty in the army, they traveled together with their two children (my dad and my Aunt Cyndi) all over the U.S. and even overseas in Germany.” Grandma says to this day that “Grandpa is the best thing that’s ever happened to her!” Grandma also introduced Megan to real Southern cooking and baking and always makes everything from scratch.
