Margie's Birthday Bash/Sisters' Reunion

The end of June my sister-in-law, Mary Lou, me, my three sisters, Sally, Louise, Margie and our cousin, Ceecy (order of photo) gathered in Quarryville, PA to celebrated Margie's 60th birthday and to see our Mom. It was a really fun time of just being together talking, laughing, remembering, and according to Mahlow tradition, crying. Our brother also came at the beginning and end. I think one of the most special times was reading Mom's letters to her Mom about Margie's birth and the story of her polio. Mom's faith was so strong, despite the challenges of what the polio was doing to Margie. I drove down with Margie from her home in Prospect Park, NJ and her car broke down twice. It was really God's gift to us since it allowed us to stay an extra day and for Margie to have an extra day off work to spend with me! She is my just older sister and we have been dearest friends since birth.

We did some fun stuff like go to Longwood Gardens, but also enjoyed a visit with my Mom and got to see our Aunt and Uncle and another cousin as well.
