T BALL



Grandson Elijah in action during his T Ball game this evening. He and his team always play hard and play to win, but they lost this one, 23~12. Only two games left in the regular season.

Happy 52nd birthday, brother in law Don Foy! It was fun singing the birthday song four [or five] times. [You had to be there] And the German chocolate cake rocked! Good times.

Day One Hundred Thirty Nine 2013

40



All we know is that the time went by fast, one day at a time, and here we are, 40 years! later, grayer, fatter, with lots of wrinkles, two awesome daughters and sons in law and three lovable grandkids, but still basically the same people we were on that rainy day when we said “I do.” And we did. And we still do. If I had to do it all over again, I would. Happy 40th anniversary to my better half, who wore to church this morning the same bow tie he wore to our wedding all those days ago. He said it was the only part of his suit that still fit him. God has blessed us richly, and I’m certain will continue to do so in the days to come.

To keep the fire burning brightly there's one easy rule:  Keep the two logs together, near enough to keep each other warm and far enough apart - about a finger's breadth - for breathing room.  Good fire, good marriage, same rule.

Had a great time at the graduation party. And so did Harry.

Day One Hundred Thirty Six 2013

Wishing my daughter Kelly and her husband Kerry a very happy 5th wedding anniversary today! This old-timey photo was taken in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, Tennessee, sometime in the summer of  2006 [I think].

This was taken yesterday. Son Knox joined the Kimbrough gang in December, 2011. They’re having fun celebrating five years together [and counting] this week in the Smoky Mountains. Wishing you all the best of everything today and always. I love you!!
