The Tate Girls -- through the years!
If you have sisters, I hope you have as much fun as we do! Separated by miles, we are in touch via the internet, instant messaging, e-mail and the telephone! Enjoy our lens about us!
Recently on another forum, Jaguar Julie asked to see a photo of the Tate girls! I decided a lens was in order. So here it is!
We were a family of four children back in 1953. Each one of us four years apart. Our father did accounting, obviously planning for college days in the future! :)
Our baby brother and our parents died years ago. But the 3 of us have survived. And here we are -- on the internet! Now who on earth could have dreamed such a thing in 1953?

Betty and I Wrote our First E-Book!

Betty and I are so excited! We finally published our first e-book!Banish the Blahs and Be Happy!
Banish the Blahs is a compilation of 28 ways to battle the blues. We had 9 wonderful contributing writers! The book is easy to read, and provides so many different ideas! We watched it come together in a true "Divine Order" way!
And I created a workbook, too!
Ten by Ten - Ten Things I Want to Manifest by 2012
Ten by Twelve is a free downloadable workbook.Ten by Twelve Workbook
I had been making imaging pages and treasure maps for years! I decided to create my own workbook to give me a format for my pages! It works! and over 300 people have downloaded and are using the Ten by Ten workbook. If you don't have your copy yet, download it today! It is a pdf file, and after authorization, will be sent to your e-mail! Easy, fun, fast!

Hospitality Room for Kathy's Wedding! What fun!
August 2007, our daughter, Kathy, married the love of her life, Adam. Betty and Nancy hostessed the hospitality room at the hotel! We all had a wonderful time in the days before, during and after the wedding! What fun to have a special place to celebrate with family and friends!In typical Tate sister fashion, Adam and Kathy were crowned Queen and King! We always have to crown someone, it seems! I think Adam actually expected it!
and of course, we had a little sing-along fun too!
Kathy knew exactly what was coming - time to crown king and queen!
Sing-a-long is a Requirement!
