46 Years of Fundraising (Friend making)...

Our wonderful DaddyBob, my husband's father is retiring at the end of the summer and he was thrown an incredible retirement party last week. It was so fun to see lots of the friends he has made over the last 46 years. A life so well lived.  He is with out a doubt one of the best fundraisers in America but even more important- he is a disciple of Jesus Christ and has shared his love for Him with all people he has come in contact with. So thankful for this man. 
 Wonderful article on DaddyBob's work at Texas A&M.
Texas A&M Fundraiser- Bob Walker Retires After 46 Years...
 Don't these cakes look too beautiful to cut and eat?

 Clayton Williams said a few words...
 My handsome husband, Uncle Jim and DaddyBob...
 Clay Bright, son of Bum Bright...
The best part was being with family.
It's always too short, but always sweet...

 His grand kids from Colorado got flattops that day. So handsome...
 Precious girls..
 Always fun with this guy...
Randy Matson also spoke.
You may remember that he was a two
time Olympic medalist in the 1960's.
He is a wonderful, Godly man.
 After party get together...
So- congratulations to a wonderful man.
He is one of the best fundraisers but even more important-
he is a super Grandfather and loving man of God.
We love you DaddyBob!

Wow, looks like it was a nice way to honor an honorable man. Not many people working 46 years anywhere nowadays!

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
