Milestone Birthdays

Ten Years - One Decade Old

Where have the years gone? It seems that my little grand girl is just growing up way too fast. She turned ten - her first double digit birthday. Mikaela has been such a joy and delight to us and is growing up to be such a fine young lady. As the years go by and she continues to grow and mature it is our prayer that she will grow not only in stature but in wisdom and knowledge of God. We love you Mikaela.

50 Years - Half a Century

Mary, my one and only sister and very dear to me also celebrated a milestone birthday this year. We headed down to Des Moines after work on Friday night and with Dee's help planned on surprising her at Outback. Little did we know when we left that we were going to drive through a raging snow storm in Iowa. Dee in order to hold dinner off late enough for us to arrive planned to look at cars after work and to hold true to his plan they went car shopping while the snow was piling up. Mary thought for sure that he was crazy to want to do this at this particular time. It all worked out, we arrived just a little later than planned and they were waiting to be seated still when we walked in. Yes, she was surprised and we had a wonderful weekend.
