FARMER JONES TURNS 66

'FARMER JONES'

HaPPy Birthday, Honey.

THIS MAN wears many hats and is a renaissance man.  I didn't know the full extent of how talented he is when we married.  I knew he could draw and paint being quite good.  I'd learn as we went.  First he was artistic and played 2 songs on the piano.  Two.  I was impressed.

No singing, but plenty of hugs and kisses.

I had no idea all he could do with carpentry, welding, dog whispering, athletics, hunting, organizing, calligraphy, drive and ambition.  Gardening, mechanical drawing, mechanics, author, chef, and does impersonations.  AND oh so smart with a memory like an elephant's.  Not afraid to work and get his hands dirty.  He was hard to keep up with.  

My HUBBY turns 66 years old today on Christmas Eve.

He isn't really a farmer nor is his name Jones, but he was born on Christmas Eve and his mom's name is Mary.

I'm sure she felt extra special giving birth so close to Christmas.  She told me that her father came to the Hospital when my Husband was born.  This was the only Grandson he did this for that she gave birth to.  Her son was her little sunshine.  

I've known my HUSBAND since he was 18.

We started dating shortly before he turned 19.  I gave him a loaf of French bread, a chunk of white cheese and a bottle of wine for his 19th.  He hated cheese, but I did not know this at the time.  He ate it anyways because he was a starving college student.  If my memory serves me right he lived off of it for three days.

Today he will eat cheese, even buy it.  I'm so glad because it's one of my favorite foods and we eat it often.

WISHING you a blessed birthday and LIFE!

God bless you real good.  I dearly love you.

HUGS,
