Hi Betsy, Mine is 34 so I know that feeling. My son's birthday was a few days ago. Have a great day tomorrow. I hope you enjoy your yards and the deer if you get to see any around.

Betsy, Very nice photo display for your son's birthday! Time sure does fly by doesn't it? Our son turns 47 in April... Makes me feel a little bit old! I may post a photo celebration when his birthday comes along... Thanks for the idea! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

I had a funny conversation with my son last night. He turned 35 this past December and we happened to start talking about his trip to Europe with the youth symphony he played in, in high school. He was 15 years old back then. When it hit him that twenty years had passed by (he's now a high school teacher himself), he just about started hyperventilating. The awareness was a bit jaw-dropping. LOL

A belated Happy Birthday to your son! I've been so slow in blog land getting to visit everyone. Some days I think I should just give it all up, but I know I'd miss it. So I blog when I can.
Hope all is well in your world. We're doing great, after having a little round with a virus. And, we have SNOW! I know you love it, Betsy, so if I could I'd send it to you! lol! It's really the first snow we've had that's more than an inch.
Take care and enjoy your week!
Hugs,
Cheryl

Hi Betsy, just as it's warming up here, you're getting the bad weather. Hope no ice for you. We still have several inches of frozen ice and sleet on the ground from a storm just before Christmas. Last nite, an inch of snow brightened it up so it dazzling white. Good luck with your dental. When it comes to dentists, I'm such a coward.

Shug said...

a little late, but I sure hope Mark enjoyed his special day. Hope you rested well last night and that each day will be better for you. Dental work can sure be stressful, but me knowing you....I know you have made the BEST of everything... Y'all stay warm and dry. Cooler weather heading our way, which usually means really cooler weather heading your way...
hugs

I'm late in sending my best wishes to your son. I'm sure he had a wonderful birthday. Children are a great joy and you must be a proud Mom. I've watched your video with a lump in my throat. What a lovely smile Mark has kept from child to manhood and what a lovely family. The accompanying music touches the heart too. I hope you and George are keeping well.
