Thanks for the alphabet list idea, Lisa!
marie,
If I had done that list it might have been a little different. For example, D could have stood for Dancing lessons that Mark took her 2 times a week for years and years. Or D could have stood for Dishes she never did and that Mark had to do for her. Or D could have stood for Daddy's little girl that got everything she wanted and Mark never got anything.
It's probably best that I don't try this for any other letter.
So fun! Thanks for the thoughtful list. It made me smile and feel loved. My first blogging tribute!
Mark - I refuse to take your bait. We both know who did more dishes in our house!
I definately know Marie did a lot of dishes, because she always had to wash them when I was a little kid who wanted to play with her.
I love this for a birthday list! So fun!
Happy birthday, Marie!
Mark really is very sweet for all who only read his comments.
That was amazing Barb!! That was really cool. HP Marie!!
Happy Birthday Marie!
Weezie chuck? Did I get that right! You are such a great sister, Barb - 10 years - but still so close. Thanks for sharing!
Love this list! Every letter fits you so well, Marie! Happy Birthday.
This is a great list Barb and a fun way to celebrate Marie!
