He was named Collin, after my mother's maiden name, and I got a new name too. I became Granny. What a pleasure this boy has been to me!! He was such a good baby..always happy and smiling..showing his big dimples. He started growing up much too fast for me.
The following two pictures of Collin were made in Mount Airy, NC, home of Andy Griffith and Floyd's Barber Shop. Does he remind you of another little red head named Opie??
It makes me really sad sometimes to look back at all Collin's pictures and see how fast he grew up, but then I see the fine and handsome young man he has become and it makes me so proud.
Happy Birthday, my precious boy! You will always be the light of my life.
I love you,
Granny

Happy Birthday Collin!
Hope,
What a wonderful tribute to your grandson. They do grow up fast, don't they? Brandon just turned 13 in May and like you, it seems like yesterday that I held him for the first time.
Happy Birthday, Collin. I wish that all of your dreams come true.
Blessings,
Mary
I know well about grandchildren. I have a 14 year old granddaughter. I bet they would like each other. They just do grow up way too fast. Is this your only grandchild? Just wondered.
Stop by and see what our friends did for us today.

Happy Birthday to your grandson Colin...what an adorable baby he was and is now quite a handsome young man! I'm so looking forward to having my own grandchildren...I will enjoy every minute of it because as you say, they grow so fast!! xoxo
Happy Birthday Collin!! Wow... with those beautiful blue eyes, I bet he has to walk around with a stick to beat the girls off of him...lol I got the biggest kick out of the picture of him sitting in Floyd's Baber Chair.. He really did look like a little Opie (Bet Opie didn't have such beautiful blue eyes though).

Thanks, Hope, for visiting me today and letting me know you are still alive and kicking, although not too high, lol.
I'll be glad when you are not too busy to blog. Your writings were always so amusing to me. Hurry back to it.

Hello Hope:
It's good to see you again! And a happy birthday to Colin too...! Well I guess you can see that I'm like a house’s tail too, BEHIND’. I need to get back into the swing of things too. Maybe it won't be so busy around here for a while, with the weather and all. That Colin is a handsome young man. Your Christmas Tree looks great too.
Jo and I wish you and your family the best Christmas and New Year ever, and the same goes for everyone who read this post..!!
