TODAY WE ARE LEAVING FOR A WEEK OF CAMPING WITH OUR CHILDREN.
WE WILL BE IN THE MOUNTAINS.
NO INTERNET SERVICE, SIGH!
Please leave a comment and I will catch up with you next week. Missing you already.
Beverly is our host for Pink Saturday. Please visit her at, How Sweet the Sound for lots more pink.
Some of you know that Beverly and I have been friends for 39 years. It is a friendship that is very dear to me. I was thinking about a post for today and found something she gave me several years ago.
I have treasured this all these years.
This book has the most beautiful poems and illustrations.
I'll just share a few.
This is for you Beverly. You do love your beautiful roses.
These photos are from the book. There is much more to share at another time.
********************************
This book below is shared because of a request from last Pink Saturday
Debbie at, Debbie Dabble, is a true Pinkie. She loves vintage and everything pink. This book was on a table and she spotted it in my photo I shared last week. Please visit Debbie's blog, you will 'love' her wonderful posts.
Wow, this book is in perfect condition from 1908.
Sorry Debbie, this book is to be given to my dear friend Beverly, the next time I see her.
Surprise Beverly!!!
Happy Pink Saturday my dear blogging friends.
I will miss you this week.
JEANNE
hope you have a good time camping with your children. Happy pink Saturday hugs Sara

Jeanne,
How wonderful to have a friend for that long a period of time. You are very lucky. I had 2 girls that I worked with for over 20 years. When they stopped working, we lost touch and it is so sad because they probably knew me better than my own family does. I miss that type of friendship!
The book is so lovely and thank you for letting me know about it!!
Beverly is most likely like a sister to you so she, above anyone else ,deserves that sweet book as a token of your sweet friendship!!
Have a wonderful vacation and a safe trip back!!
Hugs,
Debbie

Both books are so beautiful, especially that vintage one, but I know the one from Beverly is priceless to you! Have lots of fun, and make lots of great memories on that camping trip!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Such a joy to hear about the wonders of so many closet ties within this online family. Those items will be great reminders of your bond :)
Happy Sunday dear one!
