Where Has The Time Gone?

This is my first installment of FLASHBACK FRIDAY (just a few hours late). I figured it would be fitting to post this picture of Carrie and myself from way-back-when.

You see--Carrie has just celebrated a significant birthday and for her gift she and I are going on a road trip to San Diego. She has Spring Break off this next week and we are headed to the sunshine. It has been a long winter and the sun will be a welcome break. (That's Carrie in the picture pointing toward San Diego.)

So here's some history. I was born and then two years later my brother was born and then two years after that another brother was born and I prayed and prayed that my next sibling would be a long awaited sister. On April 1st, 1968 my Dad called from the hospital and when I answered he said, "You have a new baby sister." I responded by saying, "April Fool's". There was no way possible that I was going to fall for Dad's cruel joke. He however tried as convincingly as possible to let me know that he was serious. I did in fact have a baby sister (born March 31st) and I am the luckiest girl in the world. My prayers were answered. Happy Birthday, Sis!
