The Sunshine Baby' Birthday April 5th

Just looking at this photo makes me smile!

To Our Dear Chrissy,
     Grandad and  I  called you "our sunshine baby" because you were always smiling. I remember that when I came  down to San Antonio just after your proud Mom & Dad had brought you home from the hospital, I couldn't believe what a quiet easy baby you were . You hardly ever cried and were such a delightful baby. You looked so cute in the pretty girly baby clothes.


Fortunately for us we managed to see you quite often in those very early years and have plenty of photos and video to remind us of those early days. Such lovely memories.

   
Whenever we visited there was this cute baby and later, little girl, always ready with a wide smile and sparkling eyes. Ready for fun .You were  just a little ray of sunshine.
We have always been  so proud of you and especially glad that your sweetness and sunshine developed with you and that  you now share it with your many friends and family.Yes we remember also there were a few showers and storms you had  to pass through while you were growing up (hey, that's normal) but we were confident that eventually those too would pass and the sunshine return. And it certainly did.

On this your 25th birthday,we thank you for being a beautiful, creative and loving person that spreads sunshine and joy, 
                         Our Best Wishes & Love Chrissy 
                         
                              LOVE  Nanny and Grandad.

March 26th 1960 Wedding Day

Mike & Shirley 

It was a cool,gray end of March kind of day in Watford , England and anyone who has lived in the British climate will know what I mean.But on this date March 26 1960( how far away that sounds) to two people very much in love  the sun was shining. It was our wedding day and at that time we would never realize that 52 years later , again the sun would be still be shining but for real as only it can do in Texas.


Now we would be in a land far away, having  lived in England, Canada and now in Texas. During that time we have bought different houses and cars , seen many different places , had our family and seen them grow up with all the happiness and sadness, hope and happenings and laughs that brings.
But on this special day we remember each other and our special day and it brings us joy .Instead of cards we brought each other two red rose bushes. Let us hope they last , like us well into the future.

Our Best Man Roger and his wife Lydia sent us this lovely card from England and knowing how we potter in the garden it was oh just right in many ways. So thanks Roger and  everyone else  for your best wishes . They have meant a lot to us over the years .
One more Memory for the Chest.
