My auntie Carla and I. Carla is my dad's youngest sister and the aunt who is closest in age to me. I always had a special fondness for her. I always looked up to her as someone who was very beautiful and nice and can remember her dating her now husband and being at their wedding! She had a gorgeous wedding dress and hat and was married in the 'red' sanctuary at Abbotsford Pentecostal! I wore a homemade 'sailor' dress and felt every inch a geek. I think I was eleven years old at the time. Auntie C always paid special attention to her nieces and we loved it. Now she has four beautiful grown daughters of her own and even one roly poly grandbaby! My goodness...when did we all get so old?! Anyways...this one's for you, Carla!

Aww...thanks Rachel. You were so cute in that little pink crocheted dress. I used to love it when your parents came over and I could play with you. And those pants - they were the only homemade pants I really like - made of wonderful wash and wear fortrel and they had cuffs on the bottom - oh so stylish. And that top - I think I wore it every day. (One of the few store bought items I cherished.)
I guess when I had all those girls I kind of started ignoring my sweet little nieces...who are all grown up and beautiful now.
Yeah, where does the time go?
