Facebook picture

 Pic of the day;

 


 NO!  that is not my new FB picture, I know some of you think that is Sherry & I, but NOT SO. That is just how we FEEL, BUT that is Grandson Joshua and his beautiful wife Megan, not long after their marriage! Great shot, HUH?

 For today:

Ok Imma try not to complain this entry. But let me say there will come a time I cannot jump thru the hoops this thing requires, so if I disappear, I will be trying to learn to do Face Book.

I hear there are other ‘social media that folks are going to, so I may be too late to decipher Facebook.

I did change my Facebook picture.  I used the Diplomat RV forever. It now belongs to son Mark, so I wanted to change. I replaced it with a wedding picture. I have received some great comments. I am humbled by many of them. And when I look at it, I see, know how danged lucky I am; she was the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen (still is)!

Anyway, since I am going to keep trying, I wanted to say since this is Thanksgiving time.  I am THANKFUL for every day HE has given us.

I had comments from kids who were 10/12 and I was 22 when we knew each other. Funny how age is, when you are the 22 year old person and know a 10-year-old, you never think that one day you will be on the same page in life. Then you become 60 and they are 50 lives has a whole new perspective.

One sweet lady, Linda, commented. I had to smile she has now been married close to 60 years, and I performed the ceremony. I only performed two weddings; the other did not last. OUCH.  But we are both proud of Steve and Linda, they have succeeded in creating a wonderful family.

PROUD AND THANKFUL

Some of you commented, THANKFUL

There was also a humbling comment from Rev. Scott who pastors in N Florida. We met on our travels. THANKFUL

And an evangelist I heard in Missouri in 1962, I met him again in about 2015 in Florida, commented, it was good to hear from Carl. I think he and his wife have been married about as long as us.

Also a cousin out in California, she is a sweetie. And a nephew, great guy, who became a black smith in his later years. He makes some amazing stuff.

Anyway, I have made it thru this entry without complaining. I am so THANKFUL for all the memories, the comments from you here. I am THANKFUL for folks I learn who read daily but do not comment.

FB picture, most of you have seen this.


Me in my dress blues at 17 years old. I married an older woman,  Sherry was 18 (some folks say she should have known better!!)

Perfectly said, dear Jack! Like the singer wrote, "You gotta AC-centuate the positive, E-liminate the negative, latch onto the affirmative, don't mess with Mr. In-between."

PS - That image of Josh and Megan is so fun. I couldn't leap like that if my hips depended on it. LOL.

There's always a reason to be thankful, Jack. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.Please do not go to FB; I'll miss you. I gave up FB years ago as I could not understand it. Same with Twitter. I am thankful for many things; amongst them is meeting you on t'Internet.

God bless.

I like the emphasis on thankful. I am thankful for a clean home. Ever since we got that dumpster rental to clean things up, it's just felt so much nicer around here. Right in time for the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving!
