Memory Monday #4

This photo was taken in 1971 I believe. Sherri and I went on a road trip to Brunswick, Maine, with my Mom and Dad. My sister lived there with her husband, and two children. On the right, is my sister's daughter, Julia. I remember having quite a fun time there. We never got to know Julia real well, since we lived so far away. Julia went to be with the angels, after being in a car accident, in 1975 at just four yrs old. My girls used to send helium balloons up to Heaven for her. My sister made sure my girls knew a lot about Julia through the year. So, my daughters decided, who ever had the first girl, she would be named Julia. Hence, my granddaughter, Julia! My maternal grandmother's name, was also Julia. You have always been in my heart little Julie!

Handmade Cold Pack

This is Julia, my Mom's granddaughter. She is almost 12 years old. I think she is very pretty, very smart, and very creative! I can't wait to meet her this summer!

This is a picture of a cold pack, Julia, made for a Christmas present! Julia just learned how to sew this year in school, and now has her very own sewing machine! It has corn sewn inside of it. It could also be used for a hot pack, but you have to decide right away, cause it can't be used for both. Julia made a whole bunch of these to give her family members. I think she did an excellent job on this!

Mom made a cover for it, so the icy cold would not be touching her skin. She just happened to have this pretty pink fleece left over from my new cape.
Lovies, Miss Mindy (auntie to the lovely Julia!)

Proud

I think Julia and Joey to go to see the real Statue of Liberty! How about it Mom and Dad?

Mugging For The Camera

Part of Niagara Falls behind Julia and Joey. I am thinking my daughter does a wonderful job taking pictures.
