Celebrating Multiple Birthdays

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for joining us today! It is a busy birthday season around here! I told you yesterday that it was my Mamaw Martha Boggs' birthday. 

Click here if you missed Mamaw’s 2025 birthday post. We had a birthday breakfast yesterday to celebrate her birthday. Thanks to Uncle Jay and Aunt Theresa Osborn for inviting me to tag along with them.




We visited a new place to me, The Breakfast Club, in downtown Lebanon. It was really good! I highly recommend! I have noticed the restaurant a few times, and wondered about it. The restaurant has been there since 1993, but I had never been there. It is only open for breakfast and lunch.




Are you ready for more celebrating?July 31 is the birthday of two very special ladies!

Our First Lady of DRPC, Sis. Jane Sutherland turns 81 today! she is a saint of a lady! It is a privilege to have had her in my life! Her prayers and love have helped so many people! We are blessed to have her in our lives!

Our church celebrated her with a special service on Sunday morning. Then with a dinner following the service. We all dearly love, Sister Jane!

Here are pictures that I snapped Sunday. 















My Great Aunt Connie Miller is 80 years old today! Happy birthday, Aunt Connie, we love you!


Connie is the mother to my cousins Deb, Lisa, Delmar and Geneva. She is a precious lady!

Saturday afternoon I joined several family members and friends to clebrate this wonderful 80th birthday milestone! We had a great time honoring Aunt Connie! 

Here are the pictures from of the birthday party at Marion's Pizza. I took most of these pictures. My Aunt Patty Boggs took a few!















I hope and pray that all three of these lovely ladies had wonderful birthdays! it was a privilege to be there for their celebrations!

Thank you for reading! I will see you all tomorrow!

Happy 81st Birthday Martha Boggs

 Hey Friends,

Today, we celebrate and reflect on the great day of July 30, 1944. Martha Emma Isaacs was born in a little cabin in Kentucky. 


That baby girl grew up to be a wonderful lady! She has left a significant impression on many lives during her lifetime. We all thank God for Martha Isaacs Boggs!


Our family would not be the same without our wonderful Mom, Mamaw and Nana Great! We thank God for giving us the absolute best! 


I know that I can say this from our whole big Boggs clan: We love you, Mamaw! We are all so grateful for the blessing you are to us in our lives! 


Your prayers, love, and unconditional support mean the world to us! I hope you have the best birthday ever! Thank God for letting you make it 81 years!


Thank you for being there for Mom and I! The words do not exist to adequately. Tell you how much we love you and appreciate you! We are thrilled that we can call you our family! You brighten our world!


Last year we had a great big 80th birthday bash! It was a wonderful day! I love looking back on these memories! Click here to see her party and pictures. 


My cousin Lauren Osborn put together this video last year for Mamaws 80th birthday. In this video, you will see the Boggs grandkids and the great grandkids.  Thanks to my cousins for allowing me to share this on the blog! Victor, I owe you!😂

Gran And Papaw Time

Hey Friends,
 
I hope you are having a great Tuesday! We are doing good. 

Today I have an eye doctor appointment. This time I will be seeing a new doctor. Sadly, my long-time favorite eye doctor moved. 

I am not expecting any complications today, but I am a little nervous about seeing a new doctor. I appreciate prayers!

Today I am rewinding to Friday
I spent time with my Gran and Papaw. They had appointments. Then we went to lunch and shopping.  Of course, we found our way to DQ. It was a great day!

Here are pictures from our time together. I love my grandparents! I am so grateful for the memories we made. I cherish days like these!!








Thanks for reading! I will see you all tomorrow!

The Alabama Isaacs Visit DRPC

 Hey Friends,

I am so glad you came to visit today. I hope you had an excellent weekend. There was a lot of activity. I will spread them over a few posts. 

Sunday morning at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church, I was surprised to have several visitors! One family in particular is extra special to me!

Bro Jon, Sis. Heidi and Anna Kate Isaacs were passing through Ohio. They chose to bless us with their presence at DRPC yesterday!

We love their family immensely. They have been special friends to us for a long time, and it is always great to be with them!

Bro. Jon preached a fantastic message last night. We had an excellent altar service, which was a great blessing to all of us!

I was thrilled to see my dear friends, whom we have considered family for years! 

Thank God for sending the Isaacs to visit DRPC! Their visit made my day, and it was what my heart needed yesterday!

I will close with some pictures I took yesterday. Thank you for reading.
