Sort Of Sweet, Sort Of Sad

April 6, 2017

Good afternoon.  (in three minutes)  Today I slept really late.  Not sure why, but it doesn't matter.  I'm not planning on going anywhere today.  It's supposed to rain sometime today so it's a good day for doing things indoors. 

Not much happening here.  I'm slowly doing a bit better each day.  I think I just need some warm temps and lots of sunshine to really feel a bit of get up and go.  I am itching to get out on my little porch.  Guess I'll have to call my SIL Eddie to see if he can come over here this weekend and remove the screen covers. 

This is Spring time, and that means school proms.  All the little ones that we've spent so many years raising are growing up, and now's their time to dress up like grown ups and go dancing.  We don't realize it at the time, but our children grow quickly.  All too soon, we are faced with beautiful young adults where children once stood. 

This week, daughter Deanne took Jazzy shopping for prom gowns, then on to the seamstress to have the gowns altered to fit.  Yup, two gowns. Jazzy is a junior this year, and she got invited to both proms

I thought I'd share a couple of photos of our Jazzy girl growing up.  Here she is with her brother Kevin, all dressed up for Christmas.

And just a few years later, she's still following after her brother Kevin.  They are both on Little League Baseball teams.

And this year, oh my.  Our Jazzy girl is all grown up and headed off to her first prom.  Here's the photo from the seamstress' shop. Where have all the years gone?

As I sit here looking back over the years, I'm noticing that there are lots more silver hairs on my head.  It's a cycle.  The children head on into Spring, and us older folks move on into Autumn.  It's sort of sweet and sort of sad.  But my goodness, those children really are beautiful.

It's time for me to take my leave.  Til Sunday, Y'all have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.

Oops, I forgot what today is.  I'll be back tomorrow..
