HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY ALI

Ali had a birthday party on Saturday to celebrate her 5th birthday. The theme was "Ali's Princess Birthday Party" and the little girls all came in their princess finery. Ali and I had a lot of fun making the little Princess crowns. She had a wonderful party as these pictures will show. I can't believe our little girl is 5 years old...

Goodbye Louise Olive Black

This past week I said goodbye to my very dear friend of almost 30 years. Louise suffered the last year from Pancreatic Cancer. She fought a valiant fight. She was dignified and courageous and I was so proud of her. The end was painful for her but she never complained. We were friends for so long and I truly am going to miss her. We brought our kids up together and we had many many fun times. Goodbye Lou - Always and Forever...
