How did I ever get Ann to take all of these pictures?  I'm sure happy that she did as I think this is the only picture of the old sewing...

Found at the bottom of a box, don't know how I missed it.  Who can forget these and the veneer ones attached to the rosewood circles.

A couple of years earlier with a more reasonable pose.  Notice the pansey curtains and Elizabeth's graduation picture on top of the ches...

Here's Roy singing Happy Birthday to Louise!  She deserves to have that song sung in tune.  Louise is everything Ann has said.  And whet...

We've all seen this picture a million times, but the question remains, "How did Liz attract all of those chickens?"  Happy Bir...

 Does it feel as though the time has flown by? Happy Birthday to a very dear sister. I hope you have a wonderful day. Love you lots.
