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!

Rainy night followed by a rainy morning. I’ve been sipping coffee since early, thinking about the holidays and all the family we got to see and all the stuff we did. We are having one more late holiday get together with some out of town family and then it’s all about New Years!
Only a few days left in this decade! What will I do with them…
Today is the last Sunday of the year! Last Sunday of the decade to be exact! It’s been a good year! Fast but good. I have started a list of goals for 2020. #1 in the list, spend more quality time with family and friends. The more I think about it, that’s a goal worth striving for.
Have a great Sunday with family and friends!
New Years is Coming!

The New Year is Coming! Fast! In fact this is the last Friday of 2019! Pretty crazy that it has gone by so quickly… But, it’s true that “time flies”!
2019 is on the way out! What does 2020 hold for YOU???
A good friend once told me the older you get the faster the time flies. It took me a while to understand that, but now I think I do. In a simple way, the older we get, the less time we have in our future… The demand is still there, but the supply is dwindling. So time becomes more and more valuable! That makes sense in my mind.
So along those lines, 2020 is coming fast & I want to make the very best I can of every moment! 😊
Im already working on my 2020 Events Calendar for Carters Nursery (I’m very excited for next year!).
What do you want in 2020? Do you set goals? Do you make “Resolutions”?
I don’t normally do New Years “Resolutions” but I’m considering a couple this year… IF I do, I will post them for all to see 😊 It may help my accountability to any resolution I make? We will see…
Good luck! & Heres to a GREAT 2020!
– See y’all next year!

How time flies! Both of these kids are young adults now! One in college full time and the other a part time college man. Both are very intelligent, special people! I came across this picture and just had to share it 😊
2 special kids that have grown up on us in the blink of an eye 👁
Time goes by so quickly… This seems like yesterday, but it has been many years now. This is my offering for #throwbackthursday !

I’ve been going through pictures again 😊 Grouping, dating, archiving, etc… I LOVE timeline photos equally as well as I do “before and after” pictures of projects and places. Here’s a couple of my sister and me – Kids (early 70’s), Young adults (89) & a fairly recent one. Wow! How time flies !
We haven’t aged tooo bad… I mean, I’ve seen worse 😊 Christie looks great!
My offering for #throwbackthursday !
PS: 1989 is the year I started my business! I was just a kid 😊

Cold, icy mornings are great for sleeping in 😴 We stayed up late watching movies 🎥 with our son last night – Tha’ Birthday boy 😊
My little boy ain’t so little any more… 17 years old & 6’2”!
We are going to stay in today & watch a little football and spend some good quality time with each other. Time is flying by! It’s here & it’s gone… 17 years it seems, in the blink of an eye…
I’m counting my blessings today. And trying to figure out where all the time has gone 🤔
Have a great Sunday!
PS: Go Pats! 🏈
