Our 50Th wedding anniversary day didn't pass without a small celebration. We originally thought that since we were hosting our family on a cruise in December that would be an adequate celebration. Our daughters thought different.
Our neighbors Bernie & Pat belong to our church where Bernie serves as a deacon. Bernie arranged that we would repeat our vows at the five o'clock mass.
Following mass we gathered at our daughter and son-in-law, Greg and Anne's home with a small group of friends. Our granddaughters played the piano throughout the evening for entertainment. It was a beautiful gathering. Anne, Greg, and Barbara hosted the group. Daughter Mary and son Tom who could not be with us sent the bouquet of roses which made a beautiful centerpiece for the table. Nothing could have made a more beautiful memory of the occasion.
