Only girl for 42 years

There she is a few years ago!
Second flag girl on the right!

So much excitement over the week-end about the
birth of the second Willard girl, after eight boys that I forgot
about the birthday of the first girl, granddaughter Leigh.
Happy days, Leigh enjoy your days off and enjoy
the lake. You are loved.

A STAR IS BORN

Welcome to our world, Adalyn !
You will have the best and most protective father
any little girl could have.
And hopefully you will be as beautiful
as your lovely mother.
We have looked forward to this day with
many loving thoughts for almost
nine months.
We love you already.
We are Patton

A ROYAL CELEBRATION

THE QUEEN'S FLOWERS

THE QUEEN'S DINNER

THE QUEEN'S DAUGHTERS

THE QUEEN'S SON AND WIFE

With heartfelt emotion, trying to keep tears from spilling over I observed once again, what I have been privileged to observe for three quarters of a century plus eight years.Down through those years I have always felt the driving force of these wonderful children.They keep me going, they keep me happy, because of that wealth of tenderness that they store in my heart,
it makes my life so sweet and bearable. This day was made so sweet with the
presence of my three children, my beautiful daughter-in-law, one of my grand's
Rob, and my soul-mate and sister-in-law, Geraldine.
Just can't wait for 84.

Grandson, Rob

Leonard's beautiful sister. Gerry

Cooks and Cleaners Thanks!

The greatest gift, a Kindle, I read 78 pages last night!
I loved it, my wonderful children.
You're like a ray of sunshine that gives life a warm touch --
And that's the special reason why you are loved so very much - -
My birthday was filled with delight and pleasant surprises
from morning to night - - -
What a Royal celebration !

A Sneaky Post to make a Birthday Wish!

The wish from your children is that we will celebrate many,

many more of your birthdays with you,

because with each year you are even more precious to us.

Happy Birthday, Dear Mother

With much love,

(^Betty^) Merry, Judy and Hugh
