In 1961 I graduated from college
With a K-8 teaching credential
I had been student teaching at
A school near my university
And I was blessed to
Get a 1st grade teaching job there.
My room mother was Florence,
A dear lady with a darling daughter, Lorei.
Florence kept in touch
Through the years, even though
In 1962 I left that darling class
To marry my darling Bob
(It was a fairytale wedding)
And moved with him to Germany.
Lorei’s parents both died
While she was still quite young –
Not out of college yet,
So we connected again – delighted to do so –
And we became her Mom&DadBee.
Ah yes, daughters are indeed
Such a blessing
And we are blessed now
To have three!
Lorei (in CA)
Laina (in Maryland)
And our DeDeBee (in Switerland)
Are you blessed like me??
I hope so!
If not, look around – there’s a daughter who needs you out there!!
Count and share your blessings everyday!
BTW, I think I need to adopt Bob’s ski buddy as my #4 daughter

so much beauty in your words…….yes, i am blessed with daughters too!
Thank you for visiting, reading, and responding. You are blessed to Bee 🐝 a blessing!
🙂 thank you!
Everything about that wedding picture is beautiful! So glad you were able to gain an addition to your family with another daughter. God’s blessings be yours always 🤗
And may God’s blessings be yours always, too! ❤️👍🏽
By all means! Yes! Adopt Nancy, too! The more the merrier and you can’t give or get too much love 💗
Ah, DeDe, you have a piece of my heart… a generous portion that’s reserved for you alone! 🥰
I know I do, Momma, and I’m SO proud to call you mine. But I’m also proud to share you with such deserving ladies (sisters!!!) ❤️🥰💗🥰❤️🥰💗
Daughters are a blessing! My life is for the better because of my three.
Three daughters? Yes, a blessing x3, indeed. Do you also have sons?
I have no sons. I guess the Lord tried to balance things out a bit since I have four brothers and one sister.
Ah yes, balance is a good thing. How about in the grandkid category? Balance there??
I remarried 12 years ago. With combined families, we have eight grandchildren, with another due in December. Presently, we have an even split between boys and girls. Ages range from 24 to 1.
Wow! That’s quite a family. You are truly blessed! Thanks for sharing. It’s fun to know that about you!! 👍🏽❤️
Precious post and beautiful photos!
Thank you!! <3
Lovely
