A Fine Evening for a Party


October 11, 2013 - The day one of the most amazing men I know was born. 80 years ago my husband Joe was born in Long Beach, Ca. They just don't make men like him any longer. Gentle, loving and true to his family, faith and country. God richly blessed my life when Joe became a part of it. To celebrate this milestone day I gathered together as many members of his family that I could to surprise him. It was awesome, to see him so happy.

Wasn't he just the cutest little guy you ever saw, look at those chubby cheeks! I year old ...  

And now .... 80 years later ...
