Meet Oldest Son. I first met him face to face nearly 30 years ago.
Early on we could tell that he had a passion for acting.
The tiny picture to the right I snatched from his Facebook pictures. It is him on Halloween. He went as Julia Child. Won 'best costume' also.
Up until that day I always thought that he looked just like his father. Now I know that he really looks like me.
He is currently in the play/musical "White Christmas" at Cornerstone University. He is General Waverly. Opening night was tonight. It closes on December 12, his 30th birthday.
I'm sure it will take on new meaning when his cast-mates sing, "We'll follow the old man where ever he wants to go!"
If you live in the Grand Rapids area, go see it!
Although for this I'm hoping he looks more like his dad than me.
I'm thankful for Oldest Son. Not just that he can 'act' but that he is just an all around nice guy. And I'm not just saying that because he is my son. Well, maybe I am but that doesn't make it any less true!

You have me humming that tune. Hopefully not for long because I'm not all that fond of it. :)
I enjoyed this post so much! Glad you shared it.
Pretty good Julia Child! Your posts almost always make me giggle!
Judy, our oldest turned 30 this year as well. He actually looks a lot like our YOUNGER son, who is almost 27. In fact, I did a double take when I clicked on your blog! Did he shave in order to be Julia? LOL...great costume!
Love it! The choice to be Julia Child was inspired. :) (Loved your cute pine cone idea, above, too!0 Blessings, Debra
I did shave in order to be Julia. My wife of seven years (DIL 1) had never seen me bare-faced. But since I have to remain clean-shaven as General Waverly, she's getting used to it.
White Christmas is my favorite!!
When we were first married, all that came in on our t.v. was a the classic movie channel and a few others. We watched White Christmas with the Dolly sisters and it has been tradition every since. If we lived in Grand Rapids, you can bet your Julia Child cookbook that we would be there. I wish there was something we girls could do to instantly knock ten years off our appearance, like the fellas do when they remove their facial hair.
