Bonnie's Birthday

Most favorite and closest cousins, Bonnie and Patty. You never said one name without the other. In fact most all my pictures of her are with Patty. But Bonnie was our driving force, she was and still is afraid of nothing. I love being part of their family. Birthdays with Bonnie were the best.
Happy Birthday Bonnie!!!

Thanksgiving 2007

Delicious from beginning to end

So much to be thankful for then...

All of my Thanksgiving memories were at My (Great) Aunt Helen's (Ackermann) home. Thursday morning was saved for the Macy's day parade and then off to Philadelphia, (Nassau Ave) to spend the day at my Aunt Helen and Uncle Harold's home. My Daddy, Pop Powell and Uncle Harold would watch football all day on TV (black & white). Sometimes my Aunt's friend Jimmy would join them for the games. My Mother, Mom Powell and Aunt Helen spent the day in the kitchen. She had a big, beautiful, bright kitchen and it smelled so good. Every hour or so my Dad would lift the Turkey out of the oven for it's unveiling and basting. No microwaves or frozen food then. Most of my day was spent on the front sun porch playing with my dolls and napping. I always loved my Aunt's bubble light tree at the base of the steps. No cousins on this side of the family, my Mom was an only child. But when we sat at the table for this delicious meal and gave Thanks to God, everything always seemed right in my world.

So much to be Thankful for now....
Now we have this large family and the house is overflowing with fun and love. My table isn't big enough, my kitchen is small and I don't have a sun room but my life is wonderful and I thank God for his blessing on our family and friends.

Another November Birthday

I met Nancy Batten when I started working at Bell Telephone as an operator after high school. With her, for four years, I did things and went places I never knew were imaginable. My world as I knew it had changed, and what a ride it was! We've lost touch but I still consider her a changing force in my life and one of my best friends. We were born on the same day and would tell people we were twins with 2 different fathers.

Thanks Nancy!!!!

Birthdays come and go....

What happens when you don't have a Mother to plan your birthday party for you anymore. ..

Growing up, my Mother always had a celebration for my birthday. Every year for just that one day, I was special. Party, cake, presents, surprises, decorations, family and friends.

Thanks Mom, I miss you.

The Sweetest Gift

This gift bag full of old fashion country store candy was delivered to Jaime's house last week, but there wasn't a gift card sent with it... she would really like to say thanks but has no idea to whom. Any takers???

Diane Keefer's birthday

Birthdays are always more fun when you have a freind to share the fun. Diane and I have been best friends from the first day I started at Clifton Heights High in second term 7th grade, January 1960, we remain friends still. Leaving Beverly Hills Jr High and starting at a new small school, 7 thru 12, with about 50 kids in our class that have been together since kindergarten was very frightening for me but Diane took me under her wing and taught me the ropes, sometimes good, sometimes not so good... But what a great time we had. Happy Birthday Diane....

Jaime's baby shower

Jaime's shower was held at a local scrapbooking shop, we had a lunchion buffet and then everyone jumped in and made a scrapbook page for Jaimes baby book. She received so many wonderful gifts from family and friends.

Angels among us

All God's angels come to us disguised. Thank you for my beautiful flower Bella...

My parents anniversary Nov 16,1946

November starts the holiday season and every year, brings back wonderful memories of growing up with my family. But it is always bittersweet because I miss these times and my family and friends long lost. And sometimes it is very hard for me to get through the rest of the year. My biggest wish is that I am creating these momentous memories for my own family. I was certainly blessed to be their daughter.
