...DIANE!
Happy Birthday to my baby sister Diane!
I can't remember a time that you weren't at my side.
I loved all the fun we had in that little house in Bayside.
And then on to the 'new' house which seemed so big to us!
And as we grew so did our friendship.
But I think I was a very bad influence on you! Remember the time I convinced you to play hooky from school with me? And it happened to be a day when everyone from our group was absent from school and we ended up getting caught!
Remember the time Ray and I pushed you into the bushes and ran off and left you struggling to get up with the woman yelling at you? We did leave your shoes for you on the corner though so you wouldn't have to run in your stocking feet! (I'm trying to convince myself that I wasn't all bad!)
And all my most wonderful memories include you too!
(Is this when we let Ray cut our hair?! Tom has nicer hair than we do!)
You and Marybeth are the best sisters!
And I'm so glad I had you by my side through some of the saddest moments too.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANE! I LOVE YOU!

ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, DIANE !!!
ReplyDeleteThere's so much family resemblance in all of your family, Eileen. Some photos of your young sisters look like your daughters, in a young photo of you, I saw Jayden.
Loved how you and Diane dressed alike, my middle sister and I did too.
Loved the old photos showing all the styles of the time, both home decor and clothing!
Fun post!♥...Wanda

ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for my birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteProof that I never look good in pictures.
Birthday's aren't the same when the woman who gave birth to you is gone.

Sorry I'm so late Eileen, Jake is home until Tuesday this week, a nice surprise! I love this post Eileen and I love all of the photos. You are lucky to have so many siblings to grow up with. And beautiful sisters! I hope Diane had a wonderful Birthday, she sounds as though she is very deserved of one! I can't help but think what fun it must have been growing up in a full house! You should post more old photos with the stories to go along! Happy Birthday Diane! Love Di ♥
ReplyDeleteIt was good to share a little of your life and love. I'm glad you have sisters to celebrate. May happiness fill THIS hour in your home and heart. I can't wait to be back from vacation to REALLY sit down and connect with my net-friends (I'm still working on the proper vocabulary to fit the friendships I enjoy here.....)
ReplyDeleteOH that was a wonderful post to your sister! AHHH I wish I had pictures of me and my sis growing up. But there was an 8 year difference. You are sooo lucky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful birthday tribute to your sister. So much love. I envy the two of you. you ae lucky to be so close to each other. You are blessed to have such a family.
ReplyDeleteDear Umma,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Diane! What a wonderful tribute to your sister. I wish I had more photos of our family. I wasn't able to pick out Marybeth until the last photo. I'll have to get her to share who she is with me in some of the other photos when I see her Friday night at work.
Hugs,
Penny Sue - Oh, and love Keith Green. I got to see him in concert many years ago at the Broome County Arena, in Binghamton, NY. An amazing soloist.
