Birthday Memories ~ (Sorta) Sepia Saturday

Since my older son's birthday is today, it seems appropriate to commemorate the occasion with this blast from 1979. I think it was '79 -- and Ethan was seven.

The blow-up light saber was a hit. The rocking horse (named Philly) was a survival from my childhood.

Thirty one years ago --and several of these little children round the table have children of their own. Sadly, three of those grown ups in the picture below are gone -- my neighbor Betty, Vicky Owen, my friend from college, and my mother-in-law Frances --- Frannie, in an earlier Sepia Saturday post. 

Bittersweet, the passage of time. . .
