Ah, what a cutie. It's so nice to see the name Gladys being used! It was my beloved grandmother's (now deceased) name and it made me think of her.
She is darling! I love the picture where she's copying the kitty pose. Happy birthday!
she is the cutest!
Dear Ms. Gladys,
My wish for you is to have a mother who sends out invitations with ample notice so that your fairy god mothers on the east coast can bring you snazzy presents from the big city!
All in all it looks like you made out ok... nice ride!
miss you madly pretty girl!
Love,
Auntie Alicia
