Wisteria in Bloom

Good morning blogging friends.  Our Granddaughter is having a big 

birthday today.  She is turning 20 years old.  Could not

be more proud of this young woman for all she has

accomplished so far.  She is attending college and majoring

in Art with ambitions to become an Art teacher and/or Art Therapist.

I remember my 20th birthday like it was yesterday. 

I rose early that morning, Did my hair, put on a pretty white

dress I had just gotten, and went to church.

You're probably wondering how I could remember all these

details so vividly, well it was my wedding day!

When I reminded our daughter that I was married on

my 20th birthday, she said "bite your tongue".

So some pretty flowers are in order today.

Stamp - Wisteria Circle-Stampendous (CRW202)
