I just realized last night that although Dad is just a young lad of 60, he has actuallly lived in seven decades. So here is a brief recap of his life in pictures (these are just some of the ones I have).
Aww, Brooks, that's a great collection of phots--what a great idea! Your dad looks especially cute as an older man, and your mom is just gorgeous in all of the pictures! Very nice. Happy Birthday, Mr. Brown, from way down in Park County.
My dad is one of the most amazing people I have ever known. I have learned so much from him and not a day goes by where I don't remember a lesson he taught me when faced with a challenge, Whether it be the best way to remove a stump from my backyard or how to use correct grammar in writing a sentence. I know I got lucky having two parents that put so much time and hard work into parenting and I am very grateful for both of them.
The documentary of your Dad was very nice and gave me the idea to make mine.
My parents moved to Montana in June 1999 because my father, after teaching and being the head of the journalism department for 20 years, needed to get out of Auburn. Dad made a good name for himself at Auburn by making major improvements to the department and starting getting job offers from all over. He interviewed at Ole MIss and I believe UGA as well, but thought those campuses were too much like Auburn where football plays too big a role and the good ole boys on the board of trustees see to it that it stays that way.He was asked to interview at the University of Montana in Missoula in early 1999, flew up there to interview and accepted the job after my Mom had gone up there with him to scope the place out. My family is episcopal so I don't know about the protestant churches up there, but I will ask my parents. There is a small Jewish group has a place of worship on the campus so I am sure there has to be a protestant population in Missoula. I just don't know a lot about it. I will get back to you on that.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ya right, you don't hear much about football from Montana.
Interesting thing about Episcopals and Catholics: the only exception to Catholic Priests being celibate are the ones that use to be Episcopals. I think 1% of our priests are Ex-Episcopals that migrated to the Catholic church. .05% are ex-Lutherans.
The Catholic Church will accept Ministers from these 2 denominations even if they are married.
It is very hypocritical, but when you need a ready-made priest, you can't be choosy....
I should have added to that that the Episcopal Church, like the Catholic Church, is Anglican and therefore lumped in on the Catholic side of the fence.
Lutheran's service closely imitate the catholic and the episcopal's as well.
Ironic that lutheran was once a catholic monk and eventually started the reformation that broke up the only denomination that existed and which whose actions resulted in the many warring denominations we have now....
Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.
I am a grown person I know, but I still believe in concept of security blankets especially in times of stress. During 9/11 it was my new kittens from the humane society that I held and loved on while soaking in the reality of those hard moments that begin four years ago today. This week it has really helped to post blog entries and wear my new kangol visor, that already looks like it is 10 years old, while absorbing the news from Louisiana. I know that is weird, especially since I am woman. I have heard criticism from friends and family alike about how girls shouldn't wear caps my entire life, but it never has and never will stop me. It keeps overhead light glare out of my eyes, hides less than presentable hair and for some reason, provides me with a sense of comfort and relaxation and always has. When I was a kid, I wouldn't wear my team cap from softball until the day of the game. There was something sacred and ceremonial about the 'team cap' and that magic carries o...

That's okay! Your forgiven!

I need more info!
Why did your dad move to Montana. How does a person spend vast majority of their life in Alabama end up in Montana?
And did they find a protestant church, My last info has Montana being 95% Catholic....
lol girl, need data!!!!!!

Episcopals don't consider themselves Protestant?
