Happy Birthday, Paw Paw!

Sixty-seven years ago today, Opal Odessa & George Alvis Robinson welcomed a baby boy, James Vance, into the world. He's known today as James, Dr. Robinson, Butch (as his siblings call him), Dad, & Paw Paw...to name a few! A year ago he was facing open heart surgery and my family was scared, but confident that God would see him through. A year later we are amazed at how well he has done and how hard he is working. God has given Mom & Dad the best crop of peaches in a long time, and although it has been a hard four weeks for them, they are thankful for the bounty that God has given them...not to mention the fact that we are all very thankful to have fresh juicy peaches to eat on for awhile! Because they have been working so hard, we are not going to celebrate tonight with the usual family dinner, but will postpone it until the weekend. We DID, however, celebrate with donuts at the farm this morning.

Here is a picture of Paw Paw with 4 of his 6 grandkids...
And here is a picture of Georgia with her Paw Paw after a mule ride to see the cows. Dad said she just laughed at the cows and jabbered the whole time. She is so much fun these days!
Thank you, Lord, for Paw Paw...and peaches, mule rides, etc. etc.
