Old Treasures

I love old stuff.

Old fences, old pots, old chairs, old gadgets.
They make me happy. 

All that chipped paint.
It brings such character.

Love, Love, Love IT!

There is such mystery about old things.
Who has used it?
Where has it been?

One of my very favorite people
turned 96 today - in North Carolina.
My grand-dad, "Pop."

He and my grand-mother, "Mama Jo"
still live in the same beautiful, old, southern home
that they did 72 years ago when they married.

How I miss them and am celebrating with them across the miles. 
Happy Birthday, Pop. You and Mama Jo are my heros! 
Today, I am praising and thanking the Lord for your life. 

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, 
to show that the surpassing power 
belongs to God and not to us."
2 Corinthians 4:7
