Howdy folks!
My name is Tracy Lee Anne Banks. I'm the youngest of three
girls. I do my best to remind my parents, Jimmy and Betty, as often as possible, that they saved the best kid for last! As
for my two sisters, Tammy and Tonja, well I remind them, quite often too. They refer to me as the big baby
of the family or the spoiled rotten brat. I have to admit it, I agree whole heartly with them, but... they
must never find out. After all, us babies have a reputation to live up to.
I was born and
raised in the small West Texas town of Snyder. I have so many special memories of growing up there.
When we were little girls, my granddaddy
nicknamed us "The Three T's" and later "The Three Tornados." He seemed to think that his
and grandmommie's farm house looked like three tornados had went through it soon after my sisters and I arrived.
Come to think of it, maybe that's why we played outside so much when
we visited.
Grandmommie and Granddaddy lived about seven
miles from town. I remember mom making up a game to keep us occupied while driving out to their farm.This was way back
before seat belts, so to keep us three girls from climbing back and forth from the front seat to the back, she had to be creative.
