Grandma's Dress

The dress that Donna is wearing in this photo was made by Grandma McLean in 1972. The dress was a little big when she received it, but fit fine a few years later. Okay, maybe it was a little short by then, but you can't see it. With stockings, it looked great. We lived in Manhattan, Kansas when this picture was taken. Graduate school encouraged us to stretched out the wardrobes as far as they would go. This dress was received the same time as Donna's blue jumper with the red shirt, which I have shared before. I loved those two dresses so much. As I remember Donna wore one of them every Sunday to church. You have to remember, the memory only remembers what it wants to. I'm sure, thinking back, there must have been more dresses in her wardrobe. I know there were summer dresses that I made and other dresses from Grandma. Little girl dresses are so cute. Donna looks so happy in her dress.

Its Meg Ryan!

As I was looking at the combined photos of Jeni that Dad put in his blog today, I thought she looks like Meg Ryan. The first shows her saying "Hi, I'm Meg Ryan. Im glad to know you." She is staring straight at you and talking to you. Her eyes are blue and her mouth has a smile in it, just waiting to jump out. The last photo has her saying "well good-bye. I'm glad to meet you today, and I hope to see you later." In the photo it looks like she is ready to jump off to someplace. In reality it was school. I guess you might say I've seen You've Got Mail too many times.
