Happy 21st!


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze


This special girl young lady -- my first 'grand' -- will always hold a special place in my heart! 
Just as I was geographically estranged from my own grandparents, DH and I aren't able to visit Sarah and her sister in Alabama as often as we'd like.

Still, it's been a privilege to witness Sarah evolve -- from a sassy little live wire, to a kind, soft-spoken coed ...
... mom's confidant
... dad's football buddy (War Eagle!) 
... and most recently, 'Daniel's girl':  someone who seems to have appreciated receiving a baby goat ('Olivia') for Valentines -- more so than roses!

Happy, happy birthday, Sarah!   I hope all your new horizons are welcoming!

    Happy Birthday to your Granddaughter ! What a beautiful young woman. It is a delight to watch our grands grow. My oldest is going to be 22 this year. The youngest is 6 months. Many of mine are miles apart too. It is not easy being a long distance grand'ma'.

    Happy Birthday to your beautiful granddaughter! Most of my grandchildren live for away from us. The youngest will be two in June lives in San Antonia Texas. I really miss seeing her grow up.

    Ahh, how sweet is that! Yep the first is forever Grandma's girl. Our Sherece was. (still is)
    Sarah is a beautiful girl, I am sure some of Grandma is there. There are times distance hurts, but then that is life in today's world it seems.
    SWEET entry about a sweetie.
