- - Once Upon A Time - -
in a Land called Eire

lived a family
whose straits were becoming dire.

"Mary, my love, t'is time we took
tha wee one to America
to start anew - -
I want only tha best for you."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Down through the decades the Family grew,
the Walshes a wonderful example of what
hard-working, loving persons can do!

Today on The Finest
we celebrate the birthday
of our very own Finest Colleen,
whose heart is huge, and talents many.

Thank you, sweet Colleen,
for your loving, giving self.
You add so much to our lives all the year round
describing the activities of your wonderful family,
so that we feel we are a part of it!

We love hearing of the frequent gatherings of 70 or more
celebrating occasions, both happy and sad -
You draw us in to feel the love and caring,
and are ever so grateful for your sharing...

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Even at age 2, she wore red on Fridays
to support the military!!

God bless you abundantly,
dear Colleen - -

~~~ With love, from LadyX ~~~

WOW, what a wonderful, wonderful surprise. Thank You so very much for remembering my birthday, how in the world did you remember. I appreciate it very, very much. LOVE the graphic, it is beautiful. Reminds me of when I was young, my Nana use to set my hair in 'rags' so I would have curls like the one in the pic. Thank You, Billie :-)
