Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for July 23, 2023

Wasn’t there another version of this a few years back?

It seems as though they grow up too fast and at the same time ‘when will they ever grow up’.

Cute! Glad to see she grew hair.

This reminded me of my MIL when she received a picture of her granddaughter. It was “At least they could comb her hai… hair, hair, she’s got hair!”

The familiar lament.

I have that teapot in my collection.

Rose in Jimbo aren’t in the front row – so she’s not marrying Pasquale…

Grown-up Mimi reminds me of Pasquale’s teacher.

“Time to take time for spring will turn to fallIn just no time at all…”

It goes plenty fast enough without dreams.

The biggest mistake we all make is wishing we were grown up when we were kids, because once we are grown up, we wish we were kids again.

It looked like a great life, too.

Hope she got some speech therapy.

My baby will be 40 this year. They do grow up fast. My little sister is about to be a grandmother for the 8th time. THAT makes me feel old!!!

Cue recording of “Sunrise, Sunset”.

Some day some guy will be so lucky.

He may dote on her too much, but it’s better than not having your dad around at all, as happens all too often these days.

I have to wonder – when I was a baby – did my dad see a future accountant to join him in his practice?

I hope Corky & Abby’s granddaughter is as much of a sweetheart as Mimi!
