These pictures are very dear to me. They were taken thirty years ago today. It was my little girl’s very first birthday, and we celebrated that with a home baked peach pie. This is one of the rare pictures I have of my grandfather, and the only one with her in it. He was doing a little children’s nursery song with her, and she loved it. As you can see, the cake went down well, but you know what they say, don’t you?
Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake.
She’s thirty one today, she’s currently vacationing in Greece so I won’t be able to see her today. I hope the sun kisses her, and tells her that I love her.
Oh and speaking of birthdays, it’s somebody else’s birthday today as well.
Lou, AKA Lceel, is celebrating his birthday today. So if you know Lou, or read his blog, hop over to his place and wish him a happy birthday! Tell him that I sent you, okay?
Have a great day today!

I hope your daughter had a lovely day and that photo with her great-grandfather is a lovely, rich memory. I hope the sun kisses YOU, too. Blessings, Jientje.
Those photos and memories are priceless. You are such a sweet mom. I hope she had a wonderful birthday in Greece and the sun is shining bright where she is :)
I've always thought that it should be the mothers who get the cake and presents, on a child's birthday!
Wishing you and your daughter many more wonderful years together.

Absolutely precious. How wonderful that you have those pictures and the memories, too. Also, someday I`d love that pie for my birthday. :)
Hello my friend...my mother would always call me on one of my children's birthdays and with ME a happy birth-day and congratulate me on giving birth to one of her grandchildren. I have always thought how sweet that was and have continued the same tradition with my children. After all....we "mothers" made it all possible didn't we? So to you Jientje "Happy Birth-day" to you and congratulations to your sweet 31 year old daughter!
Wonderful memory shots! This is so lovely. Happy Belated Birthday to your daughter. Wishing her a lot of joy and blessings as she steps into another year.
