I just came across this again & thought I'd share it here. Julie wrote this for me (us) for our birthday last year. The poem is printed on the right side of the picture above. Pretty nice! I framed a copy & it's hanging in my hallway. I'm finally getting around to printing/framing copies for Julie & Mom too. (I had a hard time finding the frames! I'll give them to you when you come down for Brett's birthday party.) Thanks again Julie!

Me & You
Peering into the pictures of our past
I see all the things that did not last.
The little dresses Mom made us
The birthdays and once treasured presents in old photographs…
those we all outgrew.
Thinking of how it is now and the way we were:
No, the memories aren’t all bliss--
Through it all I know I’ve been lucky to have you for my sis.
As we grew, our time together was precious
Surely, it was more than we hardly knew!
Sometimes things and times we left behind do come to mind.
Now I like to think it wasn’t these things we just outgrew--
Instead, they became part of the story of me & you.
Love, Julie

Hey, I forgot to ask you about my copy. Did you find frames? If not, that's ok! Wondering is all.
