A True Classic

...you know... my Dad!!!
Happy 60th Birthday to You, Daddy! (Dad, do you even read this thing?).

My Dad - an incredible man, loving husband, genuine friend, faithful believer, supportive father, an ever- listening ear, comfortable shoulder to lean on...just an all around great guy!!!

Here's to you Ronald Gene...may you know what a blessing you are to each and every one of your friends and family.

This Saturday we really pulled off a great fete, throwing my Dad a Surprise 60th Fiesta. I still can't believe we really had him going. He.Was.Shocked. It was a wonderful night for Dad and Mom, shared with family and great friends, most of which go back 30+ years. ( I can only hope to have the same great circle of friends 30 years from now...holy moly).

The Fam

Dad and some buddies
Mabry and Cici (my Mom)- Two Amigos!

Look at what a stud my Dad was! Sic 'Em Bears!!!!

I really think I need 2 hats to really have fun!

Mabry loves her some balloons...especially after bedtime!

...to many more fun times celebrating a great man. We love you, Daddy!!!!!
