The photo probably gives it away but we are not at our usual stomping grounds. 
We traveled to our niece's wedding and, if I must say so myself, we cleaned up pretty well. 
The last time we went to a wedding (August 2022) I was still drinking, and, even though I thought I looked OK, I didn't.



I can see a difference.
210 days without any booze helps out. 
And the kids have grown quite a bit since then. 
Mrs. Shife still looks amazing. 
I am a lucky guy with a wonderful family and glad I got help before it was too late. 
Thanks for your support, thanks for stopping by and I will probably not talk to you tomorrow. 
I will stop by and say hello when we make our way back home. 
Take care and enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day weekend. 



I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

    Lovely family's, and the kids are growing like the weeds, as the old folks say.

    Your kids are junior copies of yourselves and quite a handsome family if I may say so. My ex-the-second has been without beer or any other alcohol for six years now.

    Good gravy. Hayden must have shot up four or five inches. And Kyle? He's past-your-eyes-ed. You look like a happy man who has everything he needs in life (and a basset hound to boot). The whole family looks like a happy bunch, really. You are doing a good job.

      Thank you, Debby. Kyle can't wait to be taller than me. He is getting so close.

    Yay! You all look so good & the kids are looking just that much older. Time does fly, but sometimes that's OK. :)

      It sure does, Bea. They were just babies a little bit ago.
