Mary Ellen is my only living sister. I had another sister, Evangeline, but she passed away when she was six months old. My two brothers passed away went they were both a day old.
So, this is my sister -
Here she is in front of her pond and garden - it was a magazine shot - for a pond show that was being done for the Humane Society where she lives. The two four-footed children are Maggie May (the one with the black face) and Russell. Both are Jack Russell Terriers.
This is Mary Ellen's wedding photo - She and Michael have been married 28 years.
This is one of my favorite photos of her. Loved her wedding dress...
And, this would be the family on that day - Mom, Mary Ellen, me, and Tara. Tara was the flower girl...age 4...and I made her dress...it was a beautiful cream colored eyelet material - trimmed with ribbon to match the bridesmaid dresses. Still have that dress in my cedar chest.
Beautiful sister. I only have one sister too, and we have three brothers. She's 4 years younger than me. She never married, but she's everybody's favorite aunt. She's a judge in northern Michigan, a couple of hours from me.
ReplyDeleteAren't sisters wonderful??
such beautiful shots...wow, your Mom was tiny!
ReplyDeleteThat makes me an extra special sister too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice picture of the "ladies" in the family. Wow, look how tall you are next to your sis & especially your Mom.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was only 4'8" tall so my kids all taller than her by the time they each turned 10 years old called her "Little Grammy" ...
