So cute, Louise. Love the games!
ReplyDeleteGood for Marion! She sure doesn't look her age!
Thanks Barbara, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Marion sure is a gem:)
DeleteIt's great to see Marion!
ReplyDeleteOh she is definitely back to her "robust" self, lol, Mae...
DeleteI hope I look that good at 93!! I love vintage children's books. I have a whole box of them somewhere!
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us, Pam. If only I could get her to reveal her secret:) You really should dig out those books. I know I'd love to see them.
DeleteNo way does Marion look 93! But we're all kids at heart, aren't we!
ReplyDeleteIndeed we are, Inger!!!
DeleteGlad to see Marion is doing better. She looks like she is really enjoying her cupcake ice cream cone.
ReplyDeleteMarion is doing GREAT, Geraldine and she LOVES those cones!
Deleteoh, that's marion! great to see her pic here and she looks good. How about your pic?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you haven't seen Marion before, Lena. She is rather camera shy, like me, but I surprised her in the first picture and in the second she actually posed, lol...
DeleteLovely post! I need to show it to my children. Very interesting Louise.
ReplyDeleteMarion looks fab at the age of 93! She has an amazing skin! And I bet she never used any special creams through her life!
This book is so adorable, Alida. I just had to share it:) I hope your children like it too:)
DeleteI think Marion has wonderful skin too. It looks just as amazing in real life:) As far as I know, she has never used special creams. She does however, drink lots and lots of water and the only moisturizer she uses is Vaseline on her face! (uh oh, I may be giving away her secrets:)
Dear Louise,
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of the retro childrens party cookbook! Such a simpler time that was. That book must have really fun, foods, and games to play. You have a gem there. I have never seen Marion before, but you can't tell me she is 93! OH MY Goodness, bless her for sure. She looks so young. That must be because she is living with you...Thanks for sharing, and tell marion it was nice to meet her. Blessings, Dottie :)
I love children's cookbooks, Dottie. They are so difficult to find these days though:) Marion sure does look terrific for her age. She has such a positive attitude. I think that's what keeps her looking so young:)
DeleteMy dad is going to be a 93 year old kid later this week! Like Marion, he doesn't look 93. Fun post - thanks.
ReplyDeleteMarion is beautiful! She DOES seem to be enjoying those cupcakes, I don't blame her! That was a fun recipe.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Ginger
She looks happy! That's what counts, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGreat cookbook/party planner. You have some amazing books in your collection.
what great pictures of marion! she obviously has good taste. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Louise,
ReplyDeleteYou know that I bake for happy kids and everyone is kids to me too - LOL!
See! You have earned enough to buy any kitchen gadget...your 93 yo kid looks happy!
Zoe
Hi Louise , love reading this post as I enjoy all your wordless Wednesdays , the books is great . Marion looks much younger than 93 , she is happy and so glad she is better . I couldn't help noticing how beautiful her eyes is and her great-grandson has eyes just like her > I agree with Zoe 150% , your 93 y-o kid is happy so buy the gadget :D give Marion a (((hug))) and tell her to eat one for me . Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteGood to know Marion is better, Louise. Wishing you a very blessed Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThose cones look yummy, Louise. No wonder Marion loves them!
ReplyDeleteGood to see Marion so chipper! Those cones are a must make/bake this season... And, of course I NEED the party book.. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteHi Louise,
ReplyDeleteI wish sometimes I am a kid! Being a kid is so much more fun than an adult! LOL!
And Marion is looking wonderful, she looks so happy with that delicious ice cream cone!
She looks much younger than her 93 years! :)
Marion is a kid like me although I have a while to get to 93. She looks lovely and full of life. The children't books are reminders of days gone by.
ReplyDeleteThe book images are gorgeous, and so is Marion!
ReplyDeleteThis was the kind of book I loved as a kid. One with colorful pictures, a holiday theme, and all sorts of tips and project ideas. Glad to see Marion looking so well.
ReplyDelete93?! Marion doesn't look it! And she has such great skin! I should start using vaseline on my face so I can look that good when I'm 93... if I ever live that long. Have a great weekend Louise!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and Marion looks well...and I agree with other comments, she has absolutely gorgeous skin!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love your ice cream cone cupcakes??? Glad Marion is feeling better!
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, we have a loving 93 yr old child who loves ice cream cones too....it is a blessing to make treats for him so we can feel the pleasure you feel when Marion enjoys your cupcakes...Have A Beautiful Day!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, dropping by to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteTodo lindo me gustan las remenbranzas y este cono retro es maravilloso,tenga usted una Feliz Navidad ,hugs,hugs.
ReplyDeleteMarion is beautiful! I am sure that treat made her feel better, too. Love the images. You know I have a soft spot for vintage books. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMarion is lovely indeed! I'm glad she's feeling better.
ReplyDeleteDear Louise, I love these vintage Christmas books. They really are cheerful and bright and bring many good memories of the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Marion enjoyed her cupcake cone. She really looks wonderful and happy.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a very blessed and happy New Year. Hugs, Catherine xo
