The love of my life turns 50! Gary Norman Cooper. He is the very best thing that has ever happened to me. He actually wanted a small party so we had a last minute family party with family that lived close. Cake and ice cream and lots of laughs. Turning 50 is bitter sweet...you are sure glad you made it that far, but you know that you may be in the older crowd for others to look up to... which isn't so bad. Ours kids keep us thinking young and very active which we are thankful to God for that blessing. He truly is my best friend and I LOVE this guy!!!

Happy Birthday Snookums!
