happy birthday to the little red haired girl

This little girl has a birthday today!

Today is Orphan Sunday

“We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.” – Radical by David Platt

We are so blessed that this baby girl is an orphan No MORE.

I am glad God has a plan

and 

I 

am so blessed

that 

Jolie

Is 

in 

that plan for

our family.

"External religious worship religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world."

James 1:27

Happy Birthday to Gam

Gam celebrated her 67th  on October 30th. We celebrated last night with supper and Publix cake.

Gam and Pop headed over to our house about 6pm

We had supper and then we had cake.

The kids' favorite part especially if the cake is from publix.
They kids picked out a cake with pink roses, because there wasn't one with Gam's favorite color, Purple.

Sixty seven years ago, Honey became a mom on Gam's birthday.

Happy Birthday, Gam...and Pass the cake!

Back to the Future....

Let's take a trip back to the '80's. That's right folks, the late 1900's Our  very first date was on November 2, 1985, that's twenty-eight years ago!  Let's have a blast from the past and look at that young-in-love couple.

This photo was taken in 1989, rather than 1985.  I know because in this photo, I am wearing one of my student teacher outfits....It was a green outfit, with a purple sweater and red shoes. Those 7th graders gave me a hard time over my color combinations...I was just ahead of my time. I was stylin'

We  are still young and still in love...and Karl you are still the ONE.
