We were more sisters than aunt/niece (right sweet expressions :) since we were so close in age. Jess was definitely the "little sister" who loved to make kimmy grit her teeth in frustration! My siblings, their mother in fact, are all older - by 10, 11 and 14 years - than me. Angela was the princess of the family – with her petticoat dresses and maryjane shoes. I know later in life she had to deal with blended family – I was part of that for a while also – but when we were young, as in this picture – she was the princess and I the jealous frog.<BR/><BR/>Angela and Jessica are the sisters I never had - but always wanted - and I'm sure that they both know how very much I love them and miss them each and every day. I promise to encourage the personifications of Santa and the Easter Bunny to all of my great-nieces/nephews – we really are young only once – sometimes for only fleeting moments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042876594280653987.post-57891620568587559522007-06-12T01:52:00.000-07:002007-06-12T01:52:00.000-07:00The awaken happens at all ages doesn't it.

Our age changes our perception, our outlook on the way things are. I know that now, you look at that memory, and although at the time you were upset because it wasn't "Cinna man", you were changed for the better because it was "Sinner Man." God used a song and Aunt Kim to help teach you a lesson in life that lasted. What a blessing!<BR/>Love youDiandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241556775221558049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042876594280653987.post-65569566639562739352007-06-08T13:11:00.000-07:002007-06-08T13:11:00.000-07:00Well, Aunt Kimmy certainly wore her problems out t...Well, Aunt Kimmy certainly wore her problems out there for everyone to see, didn't she. She must have been a very hurt and sad person to say such a hurtful and fearful thing like that to you as a child. I had an uncle just like Aunt Kimmy. Only he would pick and pick and pick at you until he found a sensitive place, and then he'd concentrate on that sensitive place. Mean relatives should be banned from kids lives. But maybe they make us well rounded, I don't know.Mary Timmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610970753020969331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042876594280653987.post-6129306472249295902007-06-07T20:48:00.000-07:002007-06-07T20:48:00.000-07:00Wait...are you trying to tell me there's no Santa?...Wait...are you trying to tell me there's no Santa???!!!LEstes65https://www.blogger.com/profile/15963146455105319876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042876594280653987.post-69404066792534144702007-06-07T14:31:00.000-07:002007-06-07T14:31:00.000-07:00Angela, what a lovely blog you have!

Only problem was, her teacher's name was Mrs. Wright. So Daughter insisted that the verse was Children, obey your parents in the Lord for Mrs. Wright. She would get furious when we told her otherwise. <BR/><BR/>Finally Mrs. Wright had to clear it up with Daughter, because she sure wasn't going to take our word for it on that.JAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272374108524693575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042876594280653987.post-47833578994139212502007-06-07T11:10:00.000-07:002007-06-07T11:10:00.000-07:00there are all sorts of songs from my childhood tha...there are all sorts of songs from my childhood that i heard wrong and sang wrong and generally i like my meanings better than the actual ones, lol ...<BR/><BR/>wonderful story and what a great photo of you little cuties!!daisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471659782256693603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042876594280653987.post-75260904166085035852007-06-07T08:01:00.000-07:002007-06-07T08:01:00.000-07:00that mean old aunt Kimmy!(LOL) I guess that is the...that mean old aunt Kimmy!(LOL) I guess that is the trouble with having aunts two years older huh? it's more like having an older sister to get your goat! but you handled it in stride and I think your safe from the " Sinner Man"sweet expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138747079695053005noreply@blogger.com
