Thankful Thursday - My Papaw

 
Today is a very special day for my family.  Our patriarch - my Papaw - turns 80 today!  I'm so very blessed to have him in my life. 
 
 
 
Last fall, Papaw walked the On Cosby Moonshine Run.  He took 2nd place in the 70-79 age group (out of 2).  This is definitely a case of just finishing being worth of an award, given that plenty of people in his age bracket couldn't walk 3.2 miles at all.  (The #1 finisher was at the bottom end of the age range.)
 
 
He's coming back again next month (Lord willin and the creek don't rise) to challenge last year's 80+ winner! 
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPAW!  I love you!
