WOMEN WHO LOVE THE COLOR PINK. SATURDAY IS THEIR DAY AND YOU WILL
FIND THEM HANGING OUT WITH THEIR SWEET HOSTESS BEVERLY, WHO
CORALS 130-165 WOMEN ONTO HER BLOG CALLED:
THERE YOU WILL FIND THE LIST OF EACH PARTICIPANT.
DAY AND HAD THEM DO A REALLY CUTE HAIR CUT. SHE WAS ASKING HER
COUSIN AMY WHAT COLOR SHE SHOULD DYE HER BANGS....WELL, WHAT ELSE
WOULD MY DAUGHTER SAY BUT PINK...HEIDI WAS HAPPY TO DO IT FOR HER
COUSIN, AMY. HEIDI IS GOING TO COLLEGE TO BE AN R.N. LUCKILY,
SHE IS NOT IN HER PATIENT ROTATION AS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NO-NO.
THE CUTEST THING IS HEIDI HAS TWO ADORABLE DAUGHTERS....PRINCESS
PINK ISABELLE WHO ALWAYS WANTED TO TURN THE LETTERS LIKE VANNA
WHITE AND BEAUTIFUL DESTINY WHO IS NOT SO FRILLY AND LOVES SPORTS.
ANY WHO.....THEY WANTED TO TAKE THEIR MOTHER TO SHOW AND TELL AT
SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE DIED HER BANGS PINK FOR "THEIR" AMY. THESE ARE
TWO OF THE MOST PRECIOUS GIRLS AND ALSO ELYSE....SHE IS SO SMART
AND BEAUTIFUL AND AN ARTIST.
AMY WAS TICKLED PINK HEIDI DYED HER BANGS PINK. THEY HAVE NOT
ONLY A COUSIN BOND BUT A PINK HAIR BOND.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE SO MANY CAKES IN YOUR LIFE...I WANTED TO POST
A CAKE FOR EVERY YEAR OLD MY SISTER IS BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO INFRINGE
ON ANY ONES RIGHTS. YOU KNOW I COULD NEVER DUPLICATE SOMEONES
WORK OR EVEN TRY AS I CAN BARELY COOK A CAKE IN A PAN AND SLAP
ICING ON IT. I AM JUST NOT REAL TALENTED.
TODAY IS MY BABY SISTER'S BIRTHDAY
SHERRY SMITH
MY ONLY SISTER
MORE PRECIOUS TO ME THAN GOLD
SHE HAS THE TALENT
SHE CAN COOK, SEW, EMBROIDERY, READ A BOOK WHILE SHE COOKS,
MATCH COLORS, IS SO ORGANIZED IT IS UNBELIEVABLE, BLUE EYES.....I
HAVE GREEN LIKE MY DADDY'S AND BROTHER'S..........SHE WORKS FOR THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FULL TIME IN THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT.......
SHE IS A GRANDMA AND LOVES ANIMALS. SHE IS PRETTY NEAR PERFECT
FOLKS. COME ON INSIDE AND LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED.
BIRTHDAY EVER AND I SO WISH I COULD BE THERE WITH YOU, SETTING
AROUND THE POOL DRINKING ICE TEA AND LEMON.
ALWAYS SO BRAVE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SLEEP WITH YOU WHEN
I WAS AFRAID.
I STILL HAVE NOT FORGIVEN YOU FOR THROWING AWAY MY PHYLLIS
DILLARD HOUSE SHOES..I SO LOVED THOSE...THEY DID NOT STINK. JUST
KIDDING.
I AM SORRY DADDY WAS NEVER THERE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY BECAUSE
HE WAS ALWAYS OFF FISHING. I KNOW THAT WAS SAD FOR YOU.
LOVE.
I HOPE TO BE AN INSPIRATION TO YOU THROUGH MY LIFE
I PRAY I GIVE YOU COURAGE WHEN YOU ARE WEAK
OUR BOND AS SISTERS SHOULD EMPOWER US TO WIN THE RACE
GOD HAS SET BEFORE US
OUR GREATEST STRENGTH IS TO BE TRUE TO OUR SELVES AND
KEEP OUR HEARTS PURE BEFORE GOD
MAY YOU ALWAYS KNOW EVEN THOUGH YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA AND I AM IN
OKLAHOMA, MY HEART IS ALWAYS WITH YOU AND MY PRAYERS ARE FOR YOU
ALWAYS DROP EVERYTHING.
YOU LOOK SO MUCH LIKE MOTHER
OUR PINK FLAMINGO BOND
CAME TO RIDE HIM AFTER....AFTER HE TOOK OFF RUNNING WITH RICKY ON
HIM AND THREW HIM OVER THE FENCE....I WATCHED RICKY FLY THROUGH
THE AIR AND I SAID, "NO WAY, I'M GETTING ON THAT HORSE...I HAVE A BRAIN".
YOU JUST DID NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD SET THAT HORSIE OFF.
I LOVED SEEING GRANDMA SETTING THERE..SHE WAS SO WELL
AND HAPPY. ALL THE BLACK JACKS IN THE BACK GROUND. THAT IS WHERE
DADDY AND UNCLE BILLY WAS HUNTING WHEN LADY JUMPED UP AND
BIT YOUR LIP WIDE OPEN.
OUR PINK FLAMINGO BOND
MADE FOR AMY'S BIRTHDAY IN JULY. I THINK IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
BEAUTIFUL ROSES FOR A BEAUTIFUL LADY
COULDN'T BEAT WHEN YOU SET YOUR MIND TO IT....YOU HAVE TO ADMIT
I WAS PRETTY FAST TOO. YOU REMIND ME OF ISABELLE IN THAT PICTURE.
LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL HARD WOOD FLOORS AND MOTHER
HATED THEM SO...SAID SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE ANYTHING BUT CARPETING.
THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT WHERE YOU ARE STANDING IS THE DINING
ROOM NOW.
CAR...THEY GO FOR BIG BUCKS NOW....BUT HE PROBABLY TOOK IT APART
TO SEE HOW IT WORKED THE WAY HE DID YOUR BANANA SEAT BIKE.
IS IT NOT AWESOME HOW MUCH MOTHER AND DADDY'S HOUSE
HAS CHANGED. 50 YEARS IN THE SAME HOUSE.
GATHER OUR BEACH GLASS AND THEN FLY ON TO PARIS. OH HOW I
DREAM OF PARIS.
BEAUTIFUL ROSES FOR A BEAUTIFUL LADY
BE 54 AND YOUR 52.....WOW.........I THINK THE NEXT TIME YOU COME
HOME WE SHOULD GET DRESSES AND CANCANS AND LITTLE HATS AND REPEAT
THAT PICTURE....THAT WOULD BE A HOOT. I WISH I HAD DADDY'S CAR.
I SURE HE PROBABLY STILL WISHES HE HAD THAT CAR.
I LOVE YOU SHERRY AND HOPE YOU HAVE A FUN DAY.
MY ONLY SISTER A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
BUT AS WE PARTY THERE ARE SOME PRETTY HEAVY PRAYER REQUESTS

Happy Pink Saturday. Your blog is just such a delight to visit each week. Of course, all of the pink goodies always warm my ♥. This week everyone seems to be out-doing themselves!
ReplyDeleteWishing you, and all those close to your ♥, a purr-fect weekend filled with joy, peace and gracious living.
You can help me celebrate my birthday any day!
Happy Birthday to Sherry! Those old photos are precious! I love that old toy car. My little brother had a little pedal boat. Oh, I wish I had that! Thank you also for listing all of those who need prayers. Thank you for visiting us also. I tried to reply to your comment via email, but it rejected the address? So, thank you for your nice compliment to me regarding my purse! I appreciate it.

I really enjoyed your pink pictures and the reliving of happy days with your sister. You have been blessed! I am 53 and my little sister 50 so the pictures are much like our album! So many needs. But we serve a God whose size and power is more than ample, yes? I agree with you in praying God will meet their needs and shower them with grace. And that He will bless your weekend,
ReplyDeleteJennifer

I know you have many awards and you certainly deserve them, but with your consent I would like to add mine to your list. It is sent with the greatest respect for you and with my prayers for your daughter.

So heartwarming to see your love for your little sister! The old pictures you posted are just a balm to the heart, old days, old times, never forgotten...
I hope Amy's wbc count goes up to better levels and that Leila gains strength and the weakness abates soon...
Debbie, Happy Pink Saturday. You are such a sweetheart. Thank you so much for your prayers for my mother.
ReplyDeleteYour sister must love this post. You are both so adorable in the pictures. And, I am in love with that butterfly cake. Your Amy would love it, too. She and your family remain in my prayers.
