In a few days it will be my "baby" sister's birthday.I always thought her birthday was in the spring, but not so this year. However, I hear it might be almost spring weather on that day, but we will have to wait and see. I'm not counting on it, but would love to be surprised.

I was looking through my pictures to pick on to write a memory about, and with her birthday coming up I thought I would post this picture. Yes, this is Julie with Kristi and Tammy on her lap. Tammy is the bald one, Kristi is the one with the white hair. Julie is the old one. Yes, she is getting older than she was in that picture. I love her large glasses and the not-too-happy look on her face.

The outfit Tammy is wearing is still in my cedar chest. It was corduroy pants that my mom made for her. It has large pockets along the bottom of the shirt that Tammy used to fill with cookie crumbs. It looks a lot like the clown outfit I later made for her.

So, Julie, I won't say any more about how old you are getting, because you are still younger than me. Have a happy birthday in a few days anyway!
