A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE









 Beautiful Family.


Almost grown up.


Colorado Illusion Museum.


Took son to Colorado last weekend to climb Gray Mountain.
A father and son bonding experience sharing what it means to be a man. 

We met in Gatlinburg to celebrate his 50th birthday.
Small but wonderful family - I thank God for this gift.



Helping Children.

Son, it has been a wonderful journey of life with you.  I have been with you and known you the longest and I can say you are just a wonderful and Godly human being.
I know you will always stay that way.
You have taught your family love and faithfulness.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
MOM

Oh my it is quite a shock when we have children 50 years old. Time passes so quickly. I have 2 now that are over 50. How can they be that old and I'm only 29 in my mind. Ha! Life goes on and we all get old. I hear them complaining about being old and I think how young they are! Happy Birthday to your son!

What a handsome son you have. Well my middle son won’t be 50 for another 5 years but his older brother would have been 50 in 2027 so while he is not with us anymore, I’m sure that will be surreal.
What a nice idea with the print you ordered from Etsy. I really like that meme with the lady shocker when her child hit 50. Good one.
Blessings to you as well dear, as you birthed that precious one 50 years ago. Go out and buy yourself flowers for the occasion! 🌺🌸🌼🌻🪻🌹

aahh, that was such a nice post today for your son who turned 50! He is a handsome man. And it looks like he enjoys spending time in nature! That's a cool picture at the Colorado Illusion Museum. Perfect quote for him turning 50. And it looks like a zen to zany, she's a favorite of mine. Love the picture of him and his son at Gray Mountain. You'll have to tell me the elevation of that mountain. A wonderful family photo. You raised a wonderful son, Sandie.
