THREE SCORE & TEN

My mother-in-law is celebrating her 70th birthday today.

Larry, the kids and I will attend the official celebratory bash this weekend in Larry's hometown (Marshall, TX.). We are looking forward to some fishing, 4-wheeler riding and good BBQ - sounds like the recipe for a Texas Good Time.

Chase is so excited. He's been talking about it to everyone - the teacher, the barber, the grocery store clerk and just about anyone who will listen - all week long. Along with their cousins, Chase and Bryce will perform a special birthday song for Granny. Bryce, is not yet able to say or sing words as long as "celebration," but to compensate he will serve as back-up dancer. He has been brushing up on his dance steps the past few nights and has the word "Whoo Hoo!" down pact. Right now, he is a dancing-prancing-whoo-hoo machine.

Bryce often gets actively involved in Praise & Worship at church, so he tends to Praise & Worship at the sound of ALL music. I noticed last night when he and Chase were practicing their performance, that even though it's not a Gospel song, he was doing a little "shouting" anyhow. I suspect, he'll steal the show when he closes his eyes, shakes his head and lifts his hands towards heaven (to Kool and The Gang). But that's okay, with his Granny being 70 years young, we all have something to give Praise & Thanksgiving to the Lord about. Go 'head praise him baby.

By the way, we will also get to see Nana & PawPaw (my parents) and Niece Brailey. They are making the 3-hour drive to join the celebration. Whoo-Hoo!


"The days of our lives are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." (Psalms 90:10).
