Happy birthday to my first son, Marty!
So he's turning 59.
It's hard for me to believe I have a son beginning his 60th year.
I had an idea to post photos of his father, and his grandfathers, and his great-grandfathers...so we could tell if he looks anything like any of them.
But my photo albums and processes on this laptop are completely phoey. So my good wishes aren't interested in delving into why I can't copy and paste from one file into another, nor download anything. I really like showing visuals! So I'll try again for his 60th next year.
It's what I enjoy on other people's blogs.
This show a different three generations, with Marty in the middle.
Will (now 28), Michael (now 37), Doug (now 83), Marty (now 59).
Will and Michael are Marty's sons. Doug is his father. This photo was taken at least two years ago, but I gave their ages as they are today.
I think there's a likeness between all of them, but I've seen them all at their young ages (like Will and Michael.)
Dear son...I do wish you a most enjoyable day to celebrate your birth (I was there, remember?) and many many happy returns. It's always neat to have had Mothers Day just a few weeks before yours...and some years your birthday is on Memorial Day, but at least there's almost always a long holiday weekend for you to celebrate YOUR DAY!

ReplyDeleteThat's true! I agree.

ReplyDeleteI'm very proud of him!
DeleteHappy Birthday to son Marty. They sure do grow up quickly!
ReplyDeleteProge, (son Caleb) will be 52 this year. Sometimes I feel like Yoda, "How you get so big....."
Suzi (Smartcat), because Google is shutting me out.
We'll see, grasshopper.......we'll see.....
Yes these dear boys do turn into amazing men, don't they?
DeleteCongrats to both son and mother.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, we've both come a long way since the 1964 day of his birth!
DeleteHappy birthday to him
ReplyDeleteThanks, he's a great man now.
DeleteIt is wonderful to be proud, and happy with adult children. Such a relief to get them to adulthood!
ReplyDeleteI think that happened without much help from me!
DeleteVery Happy Birthday wishes to your son, Marty, and hope he had a wonderful year of celebration because this one only comes by once in a lifetime! Also, enjoyed the family pics from years ago and the blue tint in his beard...is it current?
ReplyDeleteBarbara, Wishing Marty a Happy Birthday. Even though you and I are about the same age, I feel so much younger because my one and only son is 'only' 54! Hope you had a nice Memorial Day. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
