When I was a wee girl, my family called me Beth. I was about 3 or 4 when I found out my true name is Elizabeth. How THRILLED I was to learn that I shared the same first name as the Queen of England. I so wanted everyone to call me by it, but I had to grow up and move away from home to finally have that right.<br />:)<br /><br />Sybil I gave you an award and provided a link to your blog, if you are interested. It is in today's post.<br /><br />Cheers!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495298953834229360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744849393992610970.post-42363353958599487712011-02-07T15:58:39.832+00:002011-02-07T15:58:39.832+00:00great post sybil.thanks for sharing,tc love mort x...great post sybil.thanks for sharing,tc love mort xx yeah i am still here,lol. must post.he said.mortonlakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248807578958314195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744849393992610970.post-86157368966596816002011-02-07T08:08:23.276+00:002011-02-07T08:08:23.276+00:00Sybil, I did so enjoy reading about your memories ...Sybil, I did so enjoy reading about your memories of the Queen. I have always had a special fondness for Queen Elizabeth and as a child my mother and she looked so alike we were convinced that it was our mother's picture on our money. Although why she didn't wear her crown at home we were not sure! (She did nothing to disuade of from thinking it was her either!) How wonderful to have new people coming in to your church family. We had a new member in our Ward confirmed yesterday as well. It is always a special feeling. I send lots of love your way to you and to Mary. Spring is just around the corner, all the buds on the rosebushes whisper it is so to me. :-)Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744849393992610970.post-31734376933787711062011-02-07T04:28:59.764+00:002011-02-07T04:28:59.764+00:00What a great memory story, and to think, you'v...What a great memory story, and to think, you've actually met the Queen. How great is that?!? I can see how a child would think that she must always wear a crown! cute! The picture of her is lovely too! THanks for sharing! I hope you don't get frost to nip your flowers that are coming up. That gives us hope too, that spring will soon come!

Then I come over here and you are telling us about it. Wow....life is something isn't it.<br />Loved the post. You did such a great write about her and your memories of seeing her crowned. I too would of wanted to see the crown especially as a child. haha<br />It is not very Texas of me but when you write about your days there I sometimes wish I lived there too. I guess it is true the pasture always looks greener on the other side. <br />Oh and this is a very love picture of the Queen.<br />I will not be long and the big wedding day will be here. <br />Hope your flowers hang in there and survive til spring<br />Love ya<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744849393992610970.post-56726420526497509852011-02-07T02:48:38.711+00:002011-02-07T02:48:38.711+00:00Hi Sybil!

Soft food stage now, and holding out for a cheeseburger! However, Pizza is looking pretty good to me now too. lol Hope you have a great week. Back to work tomorrow for me. I'm going to be in culture shock going from my peaceful slow world to having to speed up and do everything at break neck speed. lolBookncoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001787449791564669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744849393992610970.post-65749998535345791622011-02-06T23:18:32.829+00:002011-02-06T23:18:32.829+00:00I do love your memories of the coronation of the Q...I do love your memories of the coronation of the Queen, Sybs. She is a lovely lady. I, too, remember our first TV which was in our home about 1952 or a little later.

All of 59 years ago, with the Diamond Jubilee coming up in a year's time.

They lived in a tiny village and needed a huge mast in order to get any sort of reception. We are so blessed to have such a lovely queen. Glad you are keeping well.

I'm glad you have had a lovely weekend there. Anything that might grow here is buried by at least 2 feet of snow and ice so it will be awhile before anything is seen blooming.
