2023 Tuesday — First Grandkid

Happy, Happy Birthday Ashly. We thank God for you.

Granddaughter Ashly (without an “e”) is having a birthday today. I was in my 30s and a college student when Ashly changed my title to Gramma. She was an itty bitty 5 lbs 4 oz at birth. I can remember it as clearly as if it where yesterday, and maybe that's why I can barely grasp that she is 35 today.

In the Top 5 of wonderful things that have happened in my life — becoming a grandparent is included. I could write volumes about our redheaded granddaughter and the undeniable joy she has brought us. Ashly is one fabulous granddaughter.

When she was born we were so excited to have a redhead. Then 5 months later her cousin Desiree was born a burnette, and almost 3 years later Ashly's little brother, Emerson, was born blonde. We've got a living rainbow of color, and of personalities, and of potential.

All of our grandkids -- Ashly, Desiree, Emerson, and four great grandkids are wonderful. If you knew them, we think you would agree.

Rosie (& Mr. Fun), aka Carol
and Chloe & Mitzi too!
