Default WOW, B.O.B, thanks for the awesome card



What a wonderful surprise this has been. Thanks for the drawing/painting Peggy did of Apatchy from my Avitar. Thanks also for the 2 pages of well wishes from friends here on the Fordbarn that you so sneakingly worked up behind my back. I'll have to keep a closer eye on you in the future.

While we have not met in person, and I have not met many of my Fordbarn friends, I have grown to appreciate and love them all. It certainly warms my heart to read all of the well wishes for a Happy 80th Birthday.

While my actual birthday isn't until the 27th of this month, those well wishes make a wonderful sliding board for me as I transition into the ninth decade of my life. God has been good to me in more ways than I'll ever know.

Thanks again, to all, and to "all y'all" I wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Lawson

Happy Birthday from someone almost as old as you, I think we both have been blessed as apparently you are in still in good health & my friends seem to marvel that I can still work on my cars, maybe it's the cars that keep us going???.

Yep, I have an older sister who was born on the 23rd. Neither of us had much of a birthday, except Christmas.

My first birthday cake was on my 21st birthday, just before going into the Army.

Joyce and I have only been married 50 years this coming May. When we got married I was 31, she was 24. Y'all got a head start on us. LOL

Congratulations on such a long standing marriage. Marriage is wonderful if it is to the right person. I have been truly blessed in that regard.

Hi Lawson; Although it's tempting, I've chosen not to correct your spelling, grammer, or sentence structure on this post. Happy holidays, Craig.

Happy birthday Lawson! I'd love to see a copy of that Apatchy drawing/painting by Peggy Diegan in the '35-'36 Ford PU Book.
