But then July brings anniversaries for both of my brothers. The oldest was married on July 3 rd 47 years ago ...WOW...
And the other was married on my birthday July 5 37 years ago : )
July 26 is mine and my husbands anniversary, and it would have have 39 years this year...I miss him.
So as you can see the time near the 4 th of July has always been a busy time in our family. My Mother always celebrated my birthday on the 4 th...so I remember lots of family time and lots of fun...My Daddy told me the fireworks were just for me...and I being a daddy's girl believed that...for many years...
I have two wonderful sister in laws, and they are as close as any real sisters could be...Actually they both have a given name of Mary...Though one will always Susie to me : )
I hope they all like their cards this year...
This is Bill and Mary's card...I loved this paper and thought Marylou would too, my brother loves red well really he prefers orange , he once wanted an orange suit ...can you believe that !~ he he : )
I thought the paper outlined with red then placed on top of the pretty paper again was a nice effect .
I am having difficulty in adding Don and Sue's card...
and I really liked that one... : (
My image of it seems to be distorted .
It is off in the mail already so I cannot scan it again : (
I hope I can get another picture of it so I can share it later.
So, as July is fast approaching, I hope you are enjoying your summer. Thanks for stopping in...See you all soon. July has more days that have a reason to be celebrated around here : )
Very pretty card! Maybe your sister-in-law can take a photo of the other card when it arrives?
ReplyDeleteIt is so funny your daddy told you that about the fireworks. Little man's birthday is July 4th and that's what we tell him, the entire country celebrates for him, lol. :)
Yes my sis in law said she will take a picture for me... and up until last summer I still called my daddy on the 4 th and told him to look up and find a fire work because it was my heart coming to him...
DeleteSoni, I will be thinking of you this month! July is filled with many birthday for my family also and many fond Fourth of July memories. I hope your fond memories help carry you through the month. I love that your dad told you those fireworks were just for you. He sounds like he was a wonderful man. Take care.
