A Picture worth Sharing...

I found a picture of my 'Dad' with his dog from years ago... I had never
seen this picture before and wanted to share with my family. There is
no other information on the picture... I wonder how old he was here.

I do enjoy old pictures...especially ones I have never viewed before.

Dad enjoyed life...married his sweetheart from Tennessee... had six children, thirteen grandchildren and twenty 'great' grandchildren as of today. One more great grandchild will be added in February.

We miss you Dad!!!

HAPPY “belated” BIRTHDAY, JARED!!!

 

Jared was born into the Plattner family July 15, 2001 and it’s been
FUN to see him grow…  Jared definitely loves the out doors…if he has a choice that is where you’ll find him.  Happy Birthday Jared… can’t wait to see you in a few weeks!!!
