Happy Birthday Leslie!


 Sisters are the best - and I have 5 of them - a real blessing in my life.

So Happy Birthday today to Leslie - often called "Leslie Junior" in an earlier life! I was almost 14 when she was born, but over the years, we have developed a good, close bond. For which I am grateful!

Bonne Anniversaire as they say in French!!

And now for the January events I have missed so far!!





 Looks like I missed Richard's birthday - January 1st! And Jim's - January 3rd! And Dale's - January 7th! And the 132nd anniversary of my paternal grandmother - Agnes Marietta Busath Clayton.

I hope to get on schedule soon!! Let's see if I do!!

And another December event I missed!





 When you get married at Christmas time, you sometimes don't always get the recognition in the ensuing years for celebrating your anniversary. We usually keep the kids and send Matt and Eliza off on a getaway - because they are usually here for the holiday. 

Not so this year - and we were sad about that!! But Happy Anniversary wishes were extended - and I think they celebrated pandemic style!!

We love you both!! And are so glad you found each other!

December events I missed!




 I missed Bonny and Bruce's wedding anniversary - 30 years! And our anniversary - 53 years! And Harry's birthday - 76 years! Just like the big trombones!!

Sorry to say goodbye -

On January 2nd, my sister-inn-law Rose Ann died. She and I shared a birthday, same day, same year. We had a bond. Each year we exchanged greetings. So when she did not send a card two years ago, I was a little concerned. As it turned out, she was beginning the Alzheimer's journey. It was sad to watch, but beautiful to watch as her family lovingly cared for her.

Rest in peace, Rose Ann.
