A very Happy Birthday to my dear husband. He finally has entered my decade. Since this is his big 7-0, there will be lots of photos and memories of many of the seven decades of his life so far. He started out his life in the fifties. His only brother is four years older than him. He was raised in a Christian home in Southern California. His father was called up to heaven in 1985 and his mother joined his father in 1997.
Early years living on Cattaraugus in Culver City.
The bottom left photo has a description written on the back of the photo by his mom.
His maternal relatives lived in Colorado and came for visits.
Great Aunt Matilda from Kansas. She never forgot the birthdays of her nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews and sent a card on time. She even sent birthday greetings to the spouses of all. I was the recipient of many birthday greetings from her.
‘Uncle from Denver and Greg’s dad in the background.
Maternal grandparents and an uncle from Denver.
They moved to a house on Centinela and this was the house they lived in until after we were married.
When this photo was taken, he had no idea he’d end up marrying a Russian girl from the eastside of Los Angeles.
G-enerous with his time and talents and tools
R-eliable
E-xcellent work ethic
G-rounded in God’s Word
O-perating Engineer
R-esourceful
Y-ounger than me. 🙂
There will be much more to share in celebration posts to follow this one.
