65 Years to celebrate!

65 years for Glenn & Virginia Lyon!
I have known these two all my life, and I can tell you that what you see is what you get...They are the genuine deal!  Daddy is quiet...Mother not so much!....I have never known them any different.  You can probably tell who I take after.  I love to golf and have thought for years that in golfer's terms, that I am on the back 9...but these two are on the last two holes.  But these holes are going to be memorable....probably not to them, since neither can find their keys or their phone.  But we will remember.  We will remember how they made us feel, how much they invested in us, and how deeply they served the Lord!

Daddy & I wearing our boots and ready for some BBQ & country music!

Never seen Daddy laugh so much!

"And I tell him every morning....LET ME GET MY TEETH IN BEFORE I KISS YA!"
THESE ARE THE HANDS THAT HELD ME, LOVED ME, AND CARED ME ALL MY 60 YEARS!  SURE DO LOVE THEM.  THEY ARE BENT & CROOKED...BUT CAN GET THE JOB DONE....LOVE MY MAMA!
