My Great Teta Dorothy celebrated with family and friends a few weekends ago.
It was a terrific party.
She looked so beautiful! It was a day filled with wonderful Croations from near and far..
Here she is when she was in the service. Yes, she was one of those girls.Rolled up her sleeves and got right down to it. Shes got the stories to prove it. Here she is after her toast, talking about her life..her lovely grandaughter sitting next to her, totally cracking up. My Teta Dorothy has a mind amazing for 100 years. They had a big wingback chair set up at the fireplace so everyone could go and greet her, it was like your turn to talk with the Queen Mum herself. So sweet!
My Clan..Teta Dorothy is in the top row in the white shirt.
My Grandma Mary is sitting to the right of my Great Grandpa. Isnt she BeAuTiFuL? They all are!
The first known photo of my Donovick clan. My Grandma is sitting on my Great Grandpas lap. For some reason, maybe its just hope, but I think that my girl looks somewhat like her? Do you see it?
It was a wonderful celebration, and I havent seen my extended family in much too long.
We had a blast!
Heres to you Teta Dorothy!
