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!

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 🎁 Still to this day I get a call from my uncle saying “your birthday still lives in Infamy”… HaHa, smart butt 😂
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.
Y’all have a wonderful day. Never forget!
God Bless America! 🇺🇸
PS: And Thanks for all the Birthday wishes! 🎈

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…

My son Jacob turns 18 today. 18 years in the blink of an eye 👁 Many of you know him personally & appreciate the man he has become. I’m about to fix his favorite breakfast and spend the day with my boy… I can still call him that, even though he is 6’ 3” and weighs about 220… 😎 I’m a Very proud papa!!!
A collage of pictures of our Birthday boy through the years. From the poster boy for the outdoor classroom movement to putting on butterfly programs, hanging out with his favorite performers & to the man he is today. What a great young man he has become ❤️
Happy Birthday Jacob! I Love you son!

Well, the weather outside is awful! Rain 🌧 Wind 💨 Muddy- NOT a good day to be in the garden! Ahhh, but all that will change soon & we need to be ready!
Nasty weather this weekend… But – Cheer up, Spring is Coming!
It won’t be long till we see the sun again!! And it won’t be long until we are out in the garden! It sometimes seems like the end of gloomy days isn’t in sight, but take heart – Spring is Coming!
Have a great weekend!
PS: Happy Birthday Jacob! ❤️

Like many of you, I grew up with Elvis in my life. My mom was what you call a ‘super fan’! I won’t mention her name, but her initials are – Sandra Carter 😎 It seems like his music was always playing in our house. By the time I was 5 years old I knew many of his songs by heart & would sing 🎤 them with very little coaxing 😊 Today is his birthday! So, Happy Birthday To the King of Rock & Roll! Thanks for all the music & memories!
“I don’t always listen to Elvis, but when I do, so do all the neighbors!” 💥
Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the music!
Have a great Hump Day y’all!
