Last week-end we got a chance to see our youngest granddaughter compete in an indoor track meet a couple of hours from the house. She is a junior in college (where did the time go?!) and it is a six hour drive to her campus, so when we get the chance to drive less than two hours to see her compete, it is a special day. I just reminds me that high school track and soccer seasons are just around the corner.
Monday’s Music Moves Me
While is may be a touch premature, the theme this week at 4M is Valentine. We can pick love songs, groups with valentine type names, like Heart or Loverboy, or built acrostics that celebrate love in the air. I am going with a few love songs. In four months my wife and I will celebrate 49 years of married life. You can look for more about that to come in May. You will notice two things, she hasn’t changed a bit and I have turned into a fossil.
The songs I have selected say as more about our relationship than I could ever pen.

How fun to get to attend a track meet fairly close to home. 49 years is something to celebrate! Congratulations on that achievement in four months!

The conference championship is only about four hours away, so we will probably be attending it as well, which means more photos!
Yes, given the world in which we live, 49 years is a great milestone and looking forward to number 50 in 2024.

It has been a blessing beyond description to have the grandcrew living in the same town and get to watch them grow up.
My wife has definitely won the battle with father time. Me, not so much.

Great action shots! I love the photos of then and now of you two love birds. That’s amazing y’al are coming up on your 49th wedding anniversary. Isn’t it a blessing to share life with your best friend? Home Free “When A Man Loves A Woman” really touched me. Thanks for joining the 4M party. Have a boogietastic week, my friend!

It looks like we will get to see the conference championship meet as well.
I just thought the Home Free arrangement was a different take on an old favorite. Percy Sledge and Michael Bolton also have great arrangements of this tune.

I thought of Percy first when I listened to Home Free and totally forgot about Michael Bolton. Both are excellent!

I thought, everyone is going to post Percy Sledge so I decided to go a little different direction.

Love to read how your love has just gotten deeper. You look good together and what a nice tribute to your wife.

One thing we have learned over the years is that love is a commitment, not an emotion. A good marriage is hard work and both partners must be committed to one another.

I’ll also be celebrating my 49th in about four months, so I’ll simply say, what a beautiful tribute to your wife. You’re right, she hasn’t aged at all. And it’s a wonderful thing to be able to share great moments with your grands. We both had When A Man Loves a Woman, but by different artists. Alana ramblinwitham
