All those years ago we walked from our homes (next door to each other) to the two room school house in Wilmot Nova Scotia.
And here we are all these years later wishing Dorothy a happy 60th birthday on April 29th. Robbie brought his son Ryan to the weekend party and it was wonderful to see him after so many years. Even the "White girls" brother George White and his wife Joan also from Wilmot NS dropped in and wished Dorothy well.
I am so proud of Dorothy - she has lost 30 pounds in the last year (can I share that Dorothy? Hope so!!) She has new clothes, a new attitude and is moving forward with her sisters right beside her. I love the bond that these sisters share - it is rare.
About the birthday hat Dorothy is wearing.....those are birthday candles on the top and the hat is decorated in a birthday theme (a rather loud birthday theme.) The hat is passed from sibling to sibling as they celebrate major birthdays. For example Phyllis might have the hat next for her 65th followed by Jeannie for her 60th and so on. They sign the hat before sending it on so it comes with many memories over the years. Nice idea yes?
Happy Birthday again Dorothy - I will never forget this year's celebration.
Love
Carol Ann
