Happy Birthday Marie

Happy Birthday Marie - you have given us 30 years of joy as your parents.

We love you - Mom & Dad

PS - Sorry we can't be there to share the birthday party.

"You are my sunshine"

One of my favorite nieces turns 30 this week. She has always been a special person. When she was little, I loved sewing dresses for her and shopping for birthday gifts for her. The one gift that stands out in my mine is the tape recorder that I bought for her when she was very young. She recorded her favorite song, "You are my sunshine", and played it over and over.
She is still a walking sunbeam, always able to brighten a room with her enthusiasm, and her zest for life.
Happy birthday Marie.

No time to post new pictures of the bathroom - it's really nice!
