Happy Birthday, Betsy! I love all those wonderful photos, especially the cowgirl one. You were a cutie then and you are a cutie now. Have a wonderful birthday surprise weekend---I can't wait to hear what your sweet George has cooked up for you!
Love, Beth
Huge Happy Birthday Betsy. You are still a puppy.
Loved the pictures and fun to know you were a Roy Rogers fan also. I once ran away from home trying to get to him.
That last picture was perfect and a hoot.
Enjoy your fun surprise and be sure to share.
I hope you saved that Roy Rogers lunchbox. It would be worth a few bucks now. We grew up in the same era. Wasn't it wonderful? Neat pics!

Happy birthday to you my friend!!! Hope it is the best yet!
Loved the pics Betsy! Happy day to you! Surprises are SO fun! Enjoy!
Betsy, happy birthday dear lady. The photos are so cute and I especially love the last one. You are a hoot!
P.S. I too had a Roy Rogers gun, holster and silver bullet. :)
Happy Birthday, you Youngin' you! Only 68? Wait till you roll up and over SEVENTY THREE, like me, My Dear! That's when we start talking "Old As Dirt"! :-)
What a great bunch of cutie-pie old photos you have. This is lucky. I don't seem to have that many. Or maybe, they aren't all in one place. My fault of course.
Anyway, how convenient that I came to give you a link to a new blogger I just met. One who has a lovely photo of a NZ waterfall pictured today [Aug.5] And when I see a beautiful waterfall, I think of BETSY!
Convenient 'cause I can make believe that I'm giving you an introduction to Pauline at The Paddock in NZ, for your Birthday. :-)
Have a lovely time, with your Birthday surprise!!!
I love all the pictures, but especially the last one. You have aged like fine wine! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
LOVE the pictures Betsy!!! What a cute girl you are!!
Have a wonderful birthday and whatever your surprise is, I hope you enjoy it all!!
And oh Betsy, I just started looking at Pauline's blog. Please click and look at THIS waterfall.
We are both gonna' love it, there.
Go have a lovely Birthday. I'll leave you alone now. :-)
Love your header photo and the background image as well. Happy Birthday dear Betsy...you are just as adorable now as you were then...
Beautiful old memories !! I really loved the post !!Thanks for sharing !!

You're funny, Betsy! I think you just look comfortable, and that's what it's all about isn't it!!? That's why we get older - so we can get smarter.
Hope you have a Happy, Happy Birthday and many more! Diane
Happy birthday!!! Don't get hung up on numbers. Sixty eight means different things to different people. You are in great shape and probably are one of those people who always seem ten years younger.
Marnie
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You and my Momma share the same day!

I so hope you are enjoying your special day, and my mind is reeling with the thoughts of what has George planned for your birthday.

Happy birthday to Betsy! I hope you enjoy your surprise. I love the cowgirl photo, and the ones of you as a young woman.
Older than dirt? Depends on what dirt. The Grand Canyon dirt wins, hands down!
Happy, Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend......
So one of my favorite books is Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani...have you read it? You should...it's so good.
Cave City is in Arkansas just north of Batesville...just a spot in the road I think, but grows the best watermelon ever!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BETSY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
Happy Birthday. Loved your pictures. I am about your age but I would not have the nerve to post
pictures of me. We just grow old gracefully.
I been out of town today, hence I very late with a comment. I do hope you have had a great birthday! My only granddaughter shares your August 5th birthday. Time does fly by all too quickly, doesn't it? Happy weekend!
Happy birthday to a special lady on her special day. I loved seeing you in a younger life time. Whatever you do on your day, George will make sure it is the best. Wishing you many more blessed days.
Here is a song that we sang in the church I grew up in. We sing it at every family birthday and so has very special meaning to us!
"May God watch over you year after year!
And fill your birthday with blessings and cheer!
Working or resting may you ever be
Happy on earth and thru eternity!
Happy birthday, Happy Birthday
Many returns of a Happy Birthday!"
(I sang as I typed ) Praying your day is blessed and your time together precious.
You are such an encouragement to me in many ways. Thank you!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy BIRTHDAY dear Betsy, happy birthday to you!! And many more!! You will have to imagine the voice and add the tune! And what a year to rejoice! You are recovering well from your knee ordeal! I know George will give you a wonderful birthday and I can't wait to see all the pictures. Wonderful pictures, you are still just as beautiful as ever, it radiates from you. But that picture of the high school graduation is really something. The look on your face is priceless. Trepidation of the furure out in the big world. Uncertainty and youth.
I love you and your humor!
beautiful old pics and then the last one...hehe.
Happy Birthday, to a wonderful lady, who I would love to meet in real life someday!
What a great day to get back to blogging on....Happy, happy birthday! I am so glad I wasn't another day getting back into it.
I hope you have a fun surprise awaiting you!
A big Happy Birthday hug to you Betsy!! Your pics are priceless & how fun that you shared with us. Enjoy your special day!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Had to come back because I wanted to be the 68th person to wish you a Happy Birthday on your 68th.
I loved seeing these photos, Betsy! Happy Birthday to you! I hope your day was extra special just like you are. :)
Of course, Happy Birthday...and then...Oh I knew I liked you! Once a cowgirl always a cowgirl. And a fan of my man Roy! Cute pictures from the very first to the very last! Sweet post!

So sorry this is late, but I wanted to wish you a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I also enjoyed the pictures of your surprise trip to Sharp Mt. :)
I love the old photos! What a cute little girl you were, and now you are a splendid senior citizen. I'll have some of my hairstyles through the years posted on Tuesday, from my birth year in 1948 through 1960, end of 6th grade.
You looked so cool and sweet in all those old pictures...but much more sweeter now. Common...honeybees she is here:)
