Today is Carol's 57th birthday. I wonder what a 57 year old Carol would have looked like? Would she have grey hair, or would she have kept it auburn. She just loved auburn hair. Did you know she loved oriental things? She did. Did you know that she took violin lessons in 1st or 2nd grade, well I am pretty sure it was violin lessons. But then we moved. Did you know there was a place next door to our house that we called the jungle and it was soooo scary? Carol, Carla and I would creep through the fence, and then scare ourselves so badly that we would come screaming back. She always remembered the recipe for the stuff that made the Italian hair on the lip (not a mustache, just darker hair) go light. And I don't. And the other day, I needed to tell her something that only she and Carla would have remembered. Happy Birthday Carol. I miss you a lot and often. Chrissy, I am sure glad you are still here.

wow, thanks! I didn't even remember that it was her birthday. Thank you for remembering!
I was thinking of her all day yesterday... and the thinking is still carrying on through today. I have been thinking what a nice blessing that all of the days I think of her most all fell on Sundays this year. It makes it a much less hectic day of reflection. Thanks for all the little things you shared about her. I miss her so much, but realize now, that I knew her so very little. That part makes me sad. But the sharing makes it nice. Thanks.
I didn't know any of the things you mentioned..I don't know why that upsets me so much but it does. Im so glad you guys care enough to keep telling us things when you think of them. I've been telling all my friends for a week now that my mom's bday was going to be the 16th and then I totally forgot about it. It was a wonderful day tho and I thought about her a lot while I was running around being silly with the kids in Primary..I loved her being in Primary with us.
Happy Birthday Mom and I am so grateful too that we still have you and Chris and Gran...what a blessing you are in our lives.
I totally blanked it, but I had just moved, so can I please be excused? ;) I will get this all copied down and put into my memoirs of here, I love that Pic!
