.... er, Saturday!
I'm a bit tardy arriving at Miss Martha's party, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to share a few of my favorite memories.
My sweet bloggy friend, Charlotte, says it so well: ".... I still can't get over how fast a week goes by. Not just a week, but a month, a year, a lifetime."
This same weekend, 18 short years ago, my granddaughter celebrated her 1st birthday at my mother's in Port Charlotte. It meant so much to mother that Sarah was baptized into her church that beautiful Sunday morning!
The quality of this photo is poor, but it remains one of my favorite images!
Besides the baby doll, mother gave my son and Lois a lovely diamond (which belonged to her own mother), asking that it be given to Sarah when she turned 18.
Today, my granddaughter is a lovely, soft-spoken young woman who still lists "going to church" as one of her favorite activities. Knowing that, I figure my mom's up there busting her buttons!
Happy, happy birthday .... and so very many more!
Hugs from Phoenix!
Happy birthday, dear Sarah. You sound as sweet as your grandmother. The pictures are adorable and lots of hugs from New York!
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos. Is Sarah wearing the ring?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim! No, I should have said, it's a loose stone; I believe they're having it made into a necklace.
DeleteI love the old photos, especially the one with the doll. So many great emotions there.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your beautiful Sarah.
What a beautiful entry. Sweet memories and beautiful pictures. So neat that you have the sweet baby pictures and now the sweet grown up shots. Yes life times pass too fast, but there is beauty as they do. Life is good, if we will allow it to be.
