Happy 50th Birthday Tom!

http://www.crossdaily.com/cards/viewcard.php?CardID=0902081237217422507705

Happy 50th Birthday to my beloved husband who is the beloved father of our five children. Before you scroll down to look at the pictures stick around for a few laughs. Speaking of pictures, I spent the entire day looking through boxes of pictures. Wow, a lot has gone on in the last 20 something years. We have been on quite a journey. I was hoping to find baby pictures of Tom but it didn't happen. Now a little something to make you smile.

A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy is very short and the doorbell is too high for him to reach. After watching the boy's efforts for some time the priest moves closer to the boy's position. He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder, leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring. Crouching down to the child's level, the priest smiles benevolently and asks, "And now what, my little man?" To which the boy replies, "Now we run!" (A Box of Delights, compiled by J.John & Mark Stibbe)
A preacher made a statement in Hyde Park. "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart." A heckler replied, "That's rubbish. Science has proved that the human heart is just a pump."
The preacher asked, "Are you married?" The man said, "Yes." "Then go home and tell your wife you love her with all your pump!" (J.John & Mark Stibbe)
"The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.

Happy Birthday Tom! YOu're only as old as you feel. How is your neck by the way? Did you purchase one of those suction cup things from China? I'm feeling old so maybe I'll buy a case of them. hee hee. Chasing those little ones will keep us young. Congrats!

God bless, The Palmers

Congratulations Tom - I found the pictures and posts interesting, and recognized Bob and Shirley from many years ago.

I don't think we have ever met, but I am the other Bob Porter in the Twin Cities. If memory serves, your father Bob was the son of my grandfather's (James E. Porter) brother. My parents are James(deceased 1992) and Doris Porter. I was directed to your site through a Google search.
