People have asked me, over the years, what my favorite birthday memory is. Well, it's this one. It was 1949, I was turning 9 and my birthday fell on Easter Sunday. My dad thought this was a pretty big event, so he took me shopping for most of this Easter outfit. My Aunt Florence had made the dress. It had a big bow on the back, yellow is my favorite color and I loved it. My dad and I shopped for the socks, shoes, hat, coat and I believe there were white gloves involved. It was quite the event and as I think about it and remember it, it brings tears to my eyes. The photos were taken at my Aunt Ruth's home on The Day. I think the coat was purchased a size or so larger so I could wear it for a few years! =)Another birthday that was very eventful, was my 40th. My husband, along with a couple of my friends had a surprise party for me. It was wonderful walking into that room and seeing all those faces. Thanks to family and friends, I've had wonderful birthday's over the years and I'm very grateful.
