… I can still enjoy the beauty of Southwest Virginia from the truck! It took me an hour longer than usual to get home from the 80th Birthday Celebration (see below) because I was traveling under this amazing sky and through these lovely mountains.
Aren’t I lucky to have such healthy, happy, and FUN parents?

Yes! Daddy in July and Mom two weeks ago. They are so healthy and full of life and I am so very lucky to have them in my life still.
You mean places like this still exist??? Oh be still my heart♥ Your parents still look fantastic, you lucky girl!

Both Photo’s and healthy longevity are magnificent! Happy Birthday to the Octogenarian! I should hope to be so lucky. Fab group, look at all those shining faces! So you come from good stock, AWESOME!
How could you not help stopping really? Just look at that sky. I’d encourage you to start painting. These are a work of art LB.
You make me smile this morning 🙂 Thank you! Can’t wait to go read about your latest adventure in San Jose!
May God bless them and prolong their life and happiness for many more years.
I love the sense of immensity of those landscapes.
