Ladybug Creek: Our 41st!!

I am married to the most wonderful man who I've known more years than I have not! We recently celebrated our 41 years of marriage.
Our oldest son is our business partner. We farm in Mexico, growing papaya, honeydew and person-size watermelon. We travel back and forth to Mexico to take care of our business. This son is married and has two children. He lives in Mexico to oversee the business.
Our middle son works for Clinical Pathology Lab. His wife is a doctor and recently opened her cosmetic dermatology clinic in Houston.
Our youngest son is a realtor in McAllen, Texas, near where we live. He loves his work and his business is steadily growing.
We lived in Mexico for three years to get our farming operation going. It was an exciting time for us!
My hobbies are genealogy, home decorating and cooking. I love blogging!
I am so very blessed to have a loving family... not only the family my husband and I created, but also my family of friends.
Fall and winter months are when I enjoy blogging the most. Seasons change and I love keeping up with the change in my home.
I have had some amazing experiences with my faith in Christ and I truly feel that God is always with me. I try to live my life the way God would have me live it.

Our 41st!!

The Engagement

The Wedding

The Marriage

The Gift

We celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary today.

I can barely remember NOT being married,

but that is just fine... so fine!

My husband always treats me to yellow roses... my all-time favorite!

I thank the good Lord for bringing this wonderful man

into my life.

It's been a ride, but there are miles and miles still

to cover.

Best wishes for many more happy years together.
