Happy Birthday Papaw!

Today is my grandfather's 83rd birthday and he is still rockin! I'm so fortunate to have had all of my grandparents in my life for many years. My dad's mom past away in 2005 and my mom's step-dad in 2006, but the other two are still with me. My papaw is living a long and happy life. He has 5 children, 10 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren and 3 on the way!

Anyways, we had his party yesterday at the lake house. It was good to see everybody and wish him a happy birthday! 



Notice in the picture that the candles show 38. My papaw has claimed he is ONLY 39 years old for as loooooonnnnng as I can remember. I'm glad to see he still has his sense of humor.

You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
