The Three Musketeers

We called them The Three Musketeers. 

Lindsey, Sera, and Carrie

When I think of them together, the first thing that comes to mind is the day they came out of Lindsey's bedroom after  a 'make-up makeover' covered in shades of pink, blues and reds.  At first I was speechless - then all I could do was laugh.  

There were birthday parties and sleepovers, play dates and time together in church.  

Time slips away and we turn around and our children are grown and gone, leaving us with memories of the good times. Lindsey, of course is my daughter.

Sera is the little girl in the middle of the photo above.  She now teaches in Saipan not far from the devastating Japan earthquake.  You can visit her blog and read about her experience  -  Here.

 We were praying for you Sera!

A Sparkly, Pretty Dress

Spring is just around the corner.  Gary sent me tulips, but they arrived a day late.  

"The flowers are on us," 

said the customer service rep at Pro Flowers. 

 That was very nice.  

Today the sun was shining.  I can't believe I left this beautiful day pass me by without getting a picture.  

But I was busy spoiling my granddaughter after a long overdue sleepover.  

And she had a number of requests.

"Show me attitude..."  I said.  So she did.

"Grammy, do you have sparkly nail 

polish for my nails?"  

"Oh, I think I can find some."

"And Grammy...  do you have a sparkly, pretty dress I can wear?"  

"Let's check..." I said.  And sure enough, I found one.

"Am I beautiful Grammy?" 

"You are very beautiful, Rissie."

"Can I have a kiss, Gracie?"

"And Grammy, can I have one of you're

 beautiful pink flowers?"

Me? Say no??  Not on your life!

This day would have been bright even

 without the sun shining.

Gracie Wins

It looks like everyone was on her side. 

 Of course Gracie wins. 

 She does own me, right?
