this post is a tribute to my parents, two of the hardest-working people i have ever known. at 82 and 80, they've slowed down a lot the last few years but one thing that has never waned a single bit is the love they have for their family. parents of 5, grandparents of 11, and great-grandparents to 4 (soon to be 5) their biggest joy is spending time with all of us, especially the little ones. i sometimes wonder at all that they've weathered and witnessed in their long lives; the technological advancements alone must seem mind-boggling compared to when they were born. but their constant was always family values, commitment to a job well-done and a simple country life. so this is my thank you to mom and dad for all you are and continue to be to me and all of us. you have been the single biggest influence in my life. i am humbled by your faith and grateful for every moment we spend together.

I adore old family photos! This was so much fun. Lovely tribute to your parents. Does everyone tell you that you look just like your dad? :^)
Nice way to honor you folks. Blessings.
Very sweet, everyone should have a daughter as thoughtful as you. Love your new header.
yes, willow, i've always been told that i look like my dad but am like my mom in disposition and attitude. i feel very blessed in both ways!!
Wonderful photos! I loved them! What sweet parents you have!
this is such a lovely tribute to your parents. i love seeing the old photos and your new banner is wonderful.
I love seeing the old photos too. You can see the decades changing in the hair dos and the decor. Isn't it nice that character isn't changed like furnishings and hair styles. It sounds like the strength of your parents has stayed true to their early life values.
