Day Three Hundred Forty One 2012

“May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. May the soft winds freshen your spirit. May the sunshine brighten your heart. May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you, and may God enfold you in the mantle of His love.”
~Irish Blessing
(And may your runny nose have a short life in this cold and flu season. I’m just saying.)

Sunshine is a welcome thing. It brings a lot of brightness. ~Jimmie Davis

Day Three Hundred Thirty Nine 2012

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUNT JOY!

My Aunt Joy Brown was  born on this date in 1914 (the year World War 1 began, the president was Woodrow Wilson, the first red and green traffic lights were installed (in Cleveland), the Panama Canal officially opened, and a postage stamp cost 2 cents.) She is 98 years old. But you’d never know it. She’s still tap dancing, after all. She feels those aches and pains, of course, but she’s still going strong and refuses to stop. So family and friends gathered together once again on this date to celebrate the life of Joy Brown. She relished every moment of it (even though she couldn’t hear half of it) and plans to do it all over again next year. Happy Birthday, Aunt Joy! I love you, and as I’ve always said, I want to be just like you when I grow up.

Day Three Hundred Thirty Eight 2012

Grandson Knox took his aunt Holly and cousin Shelby out for a little walk on this most gorgeous afternoon. One year old Knox is really starting to get the hang of this walking thing.

Day Three Hundred Thirty Seven 2012

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, KNOX!

Grandson Knox William Kimbrough celebrated his 1st birthday today at Granny and Grandpa’s house with his family.

PUPPY DOGS was the birthday theme. Arf!



Big birthday party fun with cousins Shelby, Julia, Sarah, and Elijah.

He boogied to some keyboard tunes before the party got started.


He was not happy to wear his party hat.

Singing the birthday song and ready to blow out his number one candle.

Birthday cake tastes pretty good, but I don’t like having it on my fingers.

Presents!

He got cute clothes and jammies…..

and really cool toys to play with. This one tasted good, too, like birthday cake.

This looks like fun.

Some new wheels for the birthday boy.

Dad took him for a stroll.

Now that was fun!

Party Hounds!  Behind the swing: Kelly Kimbrough (Knox’s mommy), Kerry Kimbrough (Knox’s daddy), Great Aunt Jane Foy, Great Uncle Don Foy, Uncle Jerry Myers, Great Aunt Ann Sissom, Great Uncle Terry Sissom, Granny and Grandpa.  On the swing: Cousin Elijah Myers, Cousin Sarah Foy, Knox Kimbrough (Birthday Boy), Cousin Shelby Myers, Cousin Julia Foy, and Aunt Holly Myers.
