Title: Happy Birthday Ron LaClair!!!
Post by: **DONOTDELETE** on March 22, 2011, 07:39:00 AM
The phone rang early this morning.....it was Gregg Coffey reminding me that it was Ron's birthday. I won't post up how many years it is, I'll leave that to Ron, but dang! The way Ron gets around in the woods I really don't think of him as being older than me.   :clapper:

Happy Birthday Ron!!

I think you're a brave man to keep having birthdays.

I opted to stop having them after 40 and started celebrating anniversaries instead.

This last November I celebrated the 20th anniversary of my 40th birthday...lol

I pray that your birthday is both a good and Godly day with many more to follow.

His servant, Mudd

Thank you everyone. I thought I could slip this one by unnoticed but I guess not when you've got friends watching you..   :D

This one is one of those milestone birthdays...3/4 of a Century..   :rolleyes:

 We don't quit playing because we grow old; we grow old because we quit playing...I'm still in the game....   :archer:

I just got home and WOW!..   :eek:  this thread is still going. I had to leave yesterday around noon to drive to my Sons place, he took his Mother and I out to dinner last night.

We had a snow storm that started yesterday afternoon. It went from bare ground to 6" of snow in about 6 hours. When I left today to come home it had started snowing again and the roads were bad. I had the Jeep in 4WD most of the way. When we got close to home the snow disappeared...bare ground here at home. The funny thing is my son only lives 60 miles north of me. Oh well, that's Michigan for you..   :goldtooth:
