Today is a special day! In more ways than 1… Today, every American should remember the D-Day Invasion of WWII, June 6, 1944. That was the day that Allied forces invaded northern France by means of beach landings in Normandy. My grandfathers unit was there (Omaha Beach) and I have always felt a sense of pride and gratitude knowing what all those great men did for us 🇺🇸
The other thing that makes this a very special day is that today is my moms birthday! A very special day indeed! 🎂
You can’t send mom a Facebook Birthday message, because she’s not on Facebook 😊 BUT, she does read my BLOG … So feel free to drop a HB comment here if you’d like to. I’ll make sure she gets it
Thanks mom for all you do! You are a linchpin! You hold it all together and make it all work. I don’t know what I would do without you
Happy Birthday Mom! 🎁 I Love You! ❤️
“Thoughtful lady, that works so hard,
Always been there, my dear lifeguard.
Places others before herself,
Proud of pictures on her shelf.
When in pain, maintains here smile,
Multi-tasking, she’s versatile.
With all of this; time she finds,
Her love for us, constantly reminds.
On her birthday, just want to say,
I don’t know how, I will repay?
Eternally grateful, I hope she will see,
The greatest mother, she will always be.”

I was always teased about this day because not only is it a very important part of our history as a country, it’s my birthday as well 😊 This will be the 1st time in my life that I won’t get a call from my Uncle Doug saying “your birthday still lives in Infamy”… He passed away earlier this year… He was my first thought when I woke up this morning 🙏🏻 Rest in peace Uncle Doug.
We can never forget these important dates in our history! The attack on Pearl Harbor was the attack that “Woke the sleeping giant”! It ushered us into WWII, to ultimate victory & established the United States as the preeminent Super Power in the entire world
It’s our duty to remember and to teach our kids what happened and why.
Y’all have a wonderful day. Never forget!
God Bless America! 🇺🇸
PS: And Thanks for all the Birthday wishes!❤️

April 1st. is April fools day to most… In fact, I had planned a funny post this morning myself… But my mind and emotions steered me in a different direction completely, and I had to start over…
Today was also my Uncle Doug’s birthday. He recently passed away from Covid 19 and has been heavy on my mind. I always took him out for his birthday to a place of his choosing. Sometimes it was as simple as his favorite place for Chinese food here in town, or a place in Memphis for BBQ or maybe he would say “Let’s get some steaks 🥩 and fix dinner for everyone. But since I can remember, I spent this day with him.
My blog title today was meant to express how I feel about the love I have for my Uncle.
Time immemorial (Latin: Ab immemorabili) is a phrase meaning time extending beyond the reach of memory, record, or tradition, indefinitely ancient, “ancient beyond memory or record”. In law, it means that a property or benefit has been enjoyed for so long that its owner does not have to prove how they came to own it.
We were close from the day I was born, before my memory’s started! “beyond memory or record”…
He was a true blessing in my life. Happy Birthday in Heaven Uncle Doug! 🙏🏻 You are truly missed ❤️
“God will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
nor pain anymore,
for the former things have passed away.”
– Revelation 21:4
PS: If you have someone in your life that has been there for you “beyond memory or record”, be it family or a life long best friend, give them a hug today and tell them you Love them. Things happen in the blink of an eye and then all that’s left, is your memories… 🙏🏻

My little baby boy is all grown up 🥲 He’s a man now… I still look at him and see the wild adventurous youngster that wore his Batman getup EVERYWHERE for years 😊 His love for animals is apparent, as is his love for family and friends ❤️ I put together a quick collage of photos that I think captures at least a bit of his essence…
He has been all over the place with his mom and me. Worked on projects, played with tigers, received awards for his stewardship and more. I’m a very proud papa!
Happy Birthday Jacob!

But in all seriousness, we can never forget these important dates in our history! The attack on Pearl Harbor was the attack that “Woke the sleeping giant”! It drug us into WWII, to ultimate victory & established the United States as the preeminent Super Power in the entire world 🌎
It’s our duty to remember and to teach our kids what happened and why.

Today is a special day worthy of note. My grandad was in Normandy on D-Day and his group landed on Omaha Beach. He always said he would never forget that day! Another reason he wouldn’t forget is that today, June 6th. is also my Moms Birthday! 🇺🇸💥
Momma loves to laugh and have fun. I hope today is a great Birthday celebration for her! ❤️
Thanks to all the men that fought so hard for our freedom on this day! We lost around 4,400 men and over 6,600 men were wounded on D-Day alone!
Thank you! God Bless America! 🇺🇸💥
Happy Birthday Mom! 🎈Thanks for all you do ❤️

We say “Happy Birthday” to everyone nowadays. Facebook has seen to that! Just miss the wrong persons Facebook birthday announcement and click! You’ve been unfriended! How dare you 😮
So, to avoid, ‘all that… Happy Birthday Mr. President!
Happy Birthday Mr.16!
Did you know that Lincolns birthday is not a legal holiday in most states? It’s not here in Tennessee. Only Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, California, Missouri, New York and Hodgenville, Kentucky observe the day. The rest of us celebrate Presidents Day on the 3rd. Monday of February… Combining his and Washington’s birthdates into one big National Day! That’s this coming Monday the 17th. by the way!
So, Happy Birthday Mr. Lincoln! Who knows where we would be without you…
