It’s An Important Day

Today, we’re not only celebrating the New Year, we’re also celebrating Motor Man’s birthday.

And in honor of his birthday, I’m sharing a few pictures.

  14. Happy Birthday to your Motor Man! May he be blessed today and in the year to come. Now, just where were you two all bundled up in the snow??? Were you up my way? If so, I wish you would have let me know. Wherever it was, I see you were horse whispering again. 😉

  16. Happy Birthday, Motor Man! I thought at first you took a trip back in time, but it looks like there is more to come. 🙂 You two are so photogenic. Love the picture on his dad’s lap, but the “first car” is certainly a winner, considering what he does now.

    JR, hope you had a wonderful day. It’s been many years sense Sunday School at Uzzles but your High School pic reminds me when we met in that class when Francis brought you to church. Many things have charged for both of us sense them. Here’s wishing you and your beautiful wife Dianna a Happy and Blessed New Year! It’s a small world.

  29. Happy Belated Birthday to Motor Man! His birthday is a day before mine…I think I would have liked being a New year’s baby, but we can’t have control of these things, can we? 🙂 Enjoyed seeing the photos! And thank you for your well-wishes on my birthday!
