Happy 7th Birthday Charles Ray Shoemaker

 Hey Friends,

Today is a big day for our family. Seven years ago, Charles Ray Shoemaker was born. His arrival changed our world and brightened our lives. He makes us all so happy with his love, smiles, hugs and antics. 

Charlie, we love you so much. You were an awesome addition to our family! Happy 7th birthday, buddy!

While we were in Mississippi last month, Mom and I were part of an early-birthday dinner for Charlie. We so enjoyed celebrating our boy that evening. I am thrilled that it worked out for us to be there.

Below are some pictures from Charlie’s 2026 birthday dinner. I also included some of my favorites from the Charlie archives.

Tanner Williams Holiness Church March 2026

 Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by. Yesterday, on Sunday, we had a full day. We were rolling toward Alabama early in the morning. We arrived in Richton after midnight on Monday. It was a great day!

Sunday morning, we were in church at Tanner Williams Holiness Church. Pastor Donnie Williams invited us to sing and be with them for a service. We were thrilled to see our friends again!

We have been making a March visit there nearly every year for a long time. They have been a part of our road family for many years. 

Pastor Donnie and Sis. Gayla Williamson and their crew in Wilmer, Alabama, are wonderful. We love visits and cherish the time we spend with such special friends!!

Here are some pictures from our visit with Tanner Williams this time. I will tell you about Sunday night tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Uncle Danny 2026

 Hey Friends,

We have another birthday to celebrate virtually. Happy Birthday to my incredible Uncle Danny Lee Morgan Jr! I hope you have a fabulous birthday and full year! May this be the best one yet!

Mom and I are so proud of you. It is great to watch God using you. We love and appreciate you so very much!

We have been celebrating a lot lately on the blog. Birthdays are special days. And we love our precious family members so much!

I will close out today with pictures of my Uncle Danny. He is Mom's favorite (only) little brother. Mom supplied most of these pics. They were snapped last fall. 

I took this one last week. 

Thank you so much for reading. See you tomorrow.
