Isn't that a good looking family, taken just on the spur of the moment. Karen came to get KP who had been here almost a week and obliged for a 'blog picture' of us. Left to right you see KP, Mrs. Jim, Adi, Katrin, and me (Jim). More new Baby KP pictures here.
That was taken yesterday, today is Mrs. Jim's birthday. Yes, she was a New Year's Day Baby. On that day her preacher, Dr. Herschel Hobbs*, came to bless her, pray for her, and help Mema** commit her to the Lord. Sounds like Samuel.
Happy New Year to everyone who reads this. I would love to know how many do but there isn't any way. I think there are as many relative, friends, and interested persons who read this as there are those who leave comments. I say there are 50 for this blog and 40 for the Photo and Poem Place (link). If I thought 100 I might want to brag so these are my numbers for 90.
NOW FOR A MONEY SAVING HINT

The old 1999 calendar you have laying around can be recycled this year. It matches the one for 2010 perfectly. I save mine for just to reuse them. When I find my 1999 NAPA car calendar I will post a picture, for February I hope, of that. In the meantime this other planner 1999 calendar will do just fine. And of course my 2010 free car calendars which I aways get a few of each year.***Notes:
* Dr. Herschel Hobbs (1907-1995) was a Baptist preacher who preached in Louisiana before he came to Oklahoma to spend the most of his career. Dr. Hobbs wrote a Sunday school lesson commentary which was very useful to me. He became famous for being the author of The Baptist Faith and Message. Once when he came to Houston I was honored to shake his hand and talk briefly with him. (link)
** Mema, now deceased, Mrs. Jim's mother. (link, another of my blogs, please scroll down just a bit on this blog)
*** I collect NAPA Auto Parts calendars. I missed the very first one and then sat out a bit in the early 2000's. (link, my blog)
I can't recycle my calendars! I scribble all over them and when I am finished there is no room to write more for the next year!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty sharp looking family. Happy Birthday to Mrs. Jim and Happy New Year to all of you!
You bet. Happy New Year to the Jim Bunch.
ReplyDeleteI see you have your black-eyed peas at the ready!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your wife. I hadn't thought about Herschel Hobbs in years!
You have an absolutely darling grandbaby! (But you probably already knew that!)

Happy Birthday Mrs. Jim, and many more.

Hmmm ... I did a double take because methinks this is the same picture I just commented on and thought I was back at your other blog all of a sudden. Anyway ... love the blues (now that I'm focused on them). Happy birthday once again to Mrs. Jim! May the new decade bring you and yours joyful opportunities and experiences!

ReplyDeleteWhat's up with all the sad news about my hubby having to return to work after retiring?
He's still in his 50's .. kids in college ... one more daughter to marry off ... plus my honey-do list is a mile long.
Don't worry ... his pension will be enough unless it's taxed to death by the government.
Dear Jim ~~ Great family photo and
ReplyDeletelittle KP is growing up so fast.
I hope Mrs. Jim had a lovely birthday and that you both have a great New Year. Thanks for your wishes also and comments. I did enjoy the week away, and No the Gympie elf didn't have to help with the photos of Kathy's family, I managed myself.
Glad you have decided to eat breakfast - I think we all should
to start the day. I always do.
Take care my friend, Regards, Merle
Happy Birthday Mrs Jim
