1917 TO 2017
Saturday was so much fun. Anytime I get to go to a birthday party and eat cake it is a good day. BUT, when the party includes a 100-year-old who just happens to be your grandfather you have a GREAT time. A heat wave came through and had everyone melting. They had tents set up for everyone to sit under, they had fans on full blast, and there was lots of cold water to go around. The kids were the smartest of anyone, they all jumped in the swimming pool.Lol!
I wasn’t able to get my normal pictures for the blog so I am having to make due with what I have. JD, my sister’s husband is a fabulous photographer and he took a few pictures for me. However, I always feel silly when I ask someone to take my pictures. I think everyone is looking at me and thinking, “Who does she think she is?” I think I am someone with some really cute earrings. Lol! The Aleah earrings were a pair that my DIL loved so I gave her a pair. She told me that every time she wore them she got lots of compliments. 
Grandpa is surrounded by all his family and friends. He had a great time talking to everyone. I love it when we get to take the time to sit and listen to his stories, it is informative and entertaining. He was surprised to see Ashleigh and talked to her for a long time. I don’t know if he was telling her stories or if she was telling him about Alaska. 
Look at these cuties! I told you that they went swimming, notice the wet hair. Grandpa was doing his impression of Joe Cool in this picture. Haha! Huttson, Jett, and Matti are great-great-grandkids and they are really blessed that they have had the opportunity to know two great-great-grandparents. I know that is something that most children don’t get to do.
Grandpa might be “my” grandfather but Joe is the apple of his eye. Lol! Anytime I call or go by to see him he will talk for about 2 minutes before he wants to know where Joe is. He might talk to me for a few minutes but he could talk to Joe for hours. Normally Joe only makes the trip to Tennessee at Christmas but he wouldn’t have missed this for anything. 
Before you think that I have lost my mind I want to tell you that this is a skort and not a really, really short skirt. Joe’s mouth fell open when he saw my outfit. The skort was by Attyre and it was my sister’s. Notice I said, “was” because I am going to have to buy it from her. I didn’t really bring a top that I loved to wear with the skirt but I made do with this navy shirt. The navy shirt was tighter than I like and it bunched in an unflattering manner. Okay, it might have been my stomach that made the unflattering shape but I am going to blame it on the top.
Today is another once in a lifetime event, the solar eclipse. We are making t-shirts which I will show you tomorrow and we have all kinds of fun activities planned. We checked to make sure that our glasses had the correct number on them but even then we will be cautious. Since this is a “Once In A Lifetime” event, I am going to give you a couple of “Once In A Lifetime” offers. If you need a change, if you want extra money, if you need social interaction, or if you just need a challenge, then we need to sign you up as a R+F consultant. Signup before the end of this week, with a business kit of 395.00, 695.00 or 995.00 and I will reimburse you 15% off the kit!!! This is the best deal that I have ever offered and it will only be good through this week. If you place a PC order for any one of the Regimen/Hydration combo kits then corporate will give you a FREE travel size kit and “I” will give you 15% off also!!! These are two “Out Of This World” offers and you do not want to pass this up. Email me with any questions you might have to fiftyisnotold@gmail.com. And to place orders, you go to tstephens5.myrandf.com and to sign up as a consultant you go to tstephens5.myrandf.biz.
You know when you put a post on FaceBook you wait to see if you will get any “likes” or “hearts?” That is how I feel about my blog. Leaving a comment and pinning a picture to Pinterest is my equivalent to a “like.” If you share my post on FaceBook that is a “heart.” Show me some love, gurls!!!
The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day. Be sure to follow me on Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

Tania,
Did you hook your grandfather up with some R+F, lol? His skin looks great!
Enjoy your time with your family!

Haha! I told you that he looked good for his age. Lol!
How wonderful to have such a significant birthday surrounded by family and love ones!
So wonderful to spend the day with your Grandpa on his 100th birthday! And I love it that he holds Joe special in his heart, what a gift for you!
P.S. You look great in your skort!
What a wonderful celebration. Happy belated birthday to your Grandfather.
What an amazing party/event! And your grandpa is still so handsome and looks nowhere near 100!! What a blessing! Cute hot weather outfit!
Thanks, Charlcy. I did not bring hot weather outfits. I have been melting…….
God bless him. He looks fantastic. I can’t even imagine being here for 100 years. You definitely have good genes.
Tania you are so blessed. I never knew either of my grandfathers. They were gone before I was born or shortly thereafter. What a wonderful picture of your grandpa surrounded by family and friends. That man looks amazing! Makes me wonder how much of your youthful looks are from R & F or genetics ?
Thanks for sharing that wonderful celebration with all of us. ?
Your grandfather looks better than most people in their mid to late 70’s!!! I can’t believe he is 100!!!! Happy Birthday once again to Pa and have many many more!
I love this! 100? So impressive. You look great Tania. Your legs are fabulous!

Your grandfather looks quite good! And yes, the earrings are cute…in fact, I like the whole outfit…while you do not break any rules, you sure bend a bunch of them…and it works!
Happy Birthday Grandpa!
Your grandfather looks amazing for 100! I would have never known he was 100 if I had just met him on the street or something. Your family is so precious! I saw you waaaayyyy in the back in the picture. 😉
Wonderful! Wishing your grandpa a very happy birthday!
What a special time, your grandpa’s 100th birthday and the solar eclipse. Special memories being made.
GF!!!! YOU got it goin’ on in your skort!! Way to go! You look fantastic and are an inspiration to ALL of us!
Could your Pa be any cuter? And, you are right, he looks SO young for his age! God bless his sweet heart!
Your family pictures are great!! What a big group! You guys are so lucky to be able to get together and celebrate these milestones! ??
Are the three children with Pa your oldest son’s babies? The picture of you, Joe and Pa is perfect!
Can’t wait to hear ALL about your Solar Eclipse Party! Safe and happy travels! ?
What a Beautiful family picture ! It must be so awesome talking to your Grandfather about everything he had seen in his life. Have a fun day today Tania and God Bless?
The skirt really is too short and I usually love all your photos and ideas.
Fun Fun Fun and birthday cake to boot!!! Have a good Eclipse day!
Thank you so much for sharing this special day with us. You are so blessed to have such a large family and are especially blessed having your Grandfather in your life. My great grandmother lived to be 104 so I, too, was blessed. Loved hearing her stories and talk of her life.
What a blessing to have everyone around like that Tania!!
It’s these memories that live with us forever!!
XOXO

Happy birthday to your grandfather! He looks great! Enjoy this special time with your family and friends! Eat lots of cake! Ha!
Great pictures of your family. Wow, 100 years old! That is so wonderful that you still have a living grandparent. And, he really does look like he is only 80!
Tania, I am still new to R&F, and I am due to get my second Reverse Regiman shipped this week. I love it! I love the way my skin feels, and I have much less ugly spots and flakiness/peeling. Does your offer mentioned above only apply to new R&F PC clients? Or can the rest of us get the travel size products with our order? Just wondering……
Hope you all have a wonderful visit with your family, and your eclipse party too! ?
Carri, I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the products. The reverse regimen is the first product that I used and I still use it today. This offer applies to anyone and everyone. As long as the order is placed as a PC you can get the discount.
Wow! Your grandfather looks fantastic. You had better keep up with your skin care routine because you probably have a few decades to go on this planet.?
Haha! Nancy, now you sound like Joe!
Great pics Tania!!!! Wow….100. I can’t even imagine as I just turned 51 today, so 49 to go. I do thank God that I am healthy. Enjoy your day. ~Lisa~
Happy Birthday, Lisa!!! I hope your day is filled with fun and happiness.
Thank you…It truly was thanks to my precious husband, children and family :). ~Lisa~
