I came across this picture of Julie taken back in the early spring of 1981 when she would have been about the same age that Sadie is now. There seems to be quite a bit of facial resemblance; their hair is similar thou Julies was lighter color. Julie was a bit more slender too as you look at her little fingers. I don't believe her toes were as chubby as Sadie's little "piggies"either. While there are resemblances, we know that Sadie is a unique person in her own right and that she also has many of the Owens features.
It was a quiet day around our house with Elaine spending most of it in bed. She woke up with a headache and while determined to go help prepare for the Church Bizarre, realized she couldn't make it after throwing-up a couple times. It seems there is a "flu-like" sickness going around and she got it. Hopefully, it won't last very long.
Meanwhile, I'm getting some new experience by finding out what's in the refrigerator. Carolyn stopped by earlier this afternoon and will be around all weekend in case we need some help. I fully understand why older people move to be near a daughter. Although, it would have been difficult for us to move back to North Carolina if Carolyn and Julie hadn't moved back to Nebraska those many years ago. It is almost like a "re-run" watching Sadie grow up after having had that opportunity with Julie. Only this time we are older and Sadie is fortunate in having much better living conditions.
