Cool vintage pic of your grandparents and of the current family. I'm gonna need to see more pics of the dog though ... he looks like my baby girl did 10 years ago.

My darling Lily is 8 years old today! View attachment 106438

Birthday cake by Mama (cherry chip with almond buttercream frosting), per family tradition having a slice for breakfast!

Obviously, Lily is the star of the picture, so that's what I noticed until just this morning - that is quite the elaborate cake with beautiful decoration - well done and kudos. I love the morning-slice tradition - great idea.

Sam answers an alter call ...

As the closing hymn was played today in church, my three year old grandson Sam quietly gets up from his seat in the back of the church and slowly walks down to the front. I was a bit startled, thinking Sam was answering an alter call. However, Sam had something else in mind.

During the children's sermon, the preacher used a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as an example of God's covenant with Abraham (it's a long story). After he was finished with the children's sermon, the preacher said if any of the children wanted the sandwich they could come and get it when the service was over.

Well, since the closing hymn marks the end of the service, Sam took the opportunity to go get the sandwich. He quietly walked down the aisle, the preacher came down from the pulpit to see Sam, and Sam polietly asked for the sandwich. After thanking the preacher, Sam quietly walked back to his seat with his sandwich, all while the closing hymn was playing. There was a mixture of smiles, soft chuckles, and a few tears as Sam walked along.

I sure do wish I'd had my phone with me to capture this all; but even without a photo, it's a memory that will remain with me (and I'm sure a lot of others) for a long, long time.

That’s too funny. Makes me think of Leon offering a bite of his sandwich to Andy and Barney on The Andy Griffith Show.

For my first post in this thread let me introduce my first grandchild who loves hats!
Her name is Willow Jay.
Day 1, couple days ago, and today right before she popped the ribbon stitches of my Stetson. She can get away with that, for now.
Be well. Bowen
What a cutie Bowen! Her job now is to keep you wrapped around her little finger. Sounds like she is off to a good start! You are blessed!
