Magic Kingdom



We have just returned from a lovely visit with our granddaughter, our Disney princess. She is loving working in the Magic Kingdom. It was great fun have her as our guide through this place that she feels is her own The picture is our Princess Pixie Dust with some girl named Cinderella.

Disneyland and Disney world are places full of magical memories for us. Every place we turned we were reminded of other times when we were there.

May 15, 1960 was the day my beloved asked me to marry him. We celebrated by going to Disneyland where all the lights and magic were just for us. The Peter Pan ride is always a wonderful romantic memory for us. As the years went by we were blessed with four children. We took them to Disneyland, all dressed in matching shirts so we could find them more easily. Seeing it all through their believing eyes was one of the best moments of parenthood. The children grew up and blessed us with eight grandchildren. We took them all to Disney World. Watching them bubbling with joy at the sight of Mickey Mouse and all the other characters was such fun. Now our oldest granddaughter is working for Disney and as a young adult still enjoys the magic.

For our family it really is a Magic Kingdom.

Sharing this with your G-daughter is magic in itself. how wonderful. She is a cutey--and brave to share an apt. with 6 others...wow, that is a kingdom too!

So glad you had a chance to see her and enjoy yourselves. HHM and I would like to go sometime.

Don't forget the fairy dust on your pillow. Happy times Mom!

You're a lucky woman. But I'm sure you already know that. You should write a book, telling people how to have those special relationships you have.

I don't think growing old is so bad when you have grandkids to keep you young. John, I think that book has already been written. I read somewhere that it's Mom's favorite. It's pretty obvious that she has been reading it and proving that its advice is still sound after so many centuries.
