Well, "as Ronald Reagan used to say," Cathey and I have reached a significant milestone in our lives: our 50th wedding anniversary this Sunday. We look back on that day with fond memories, but we also understand that many of the individuals who attended our wedding are no longer with us. This is why we feel so blessed at this stage in our lives.We celebrated the day early during the last weekend of June at Jason's house in Greystone Farms, with Jenny and her family in attendance. Starting school for the grandchildren and Jason's work schedule didn't align with August 17th, it didn't bother us; we were just glad to be with family on this special occasion.
Everyone enjoyed the food, and of course, the fishing!
The desserts, after everyone had stuffed themselves with barbecue ribs from Jim and Nick's, was a Lemon Icebox cake with stuffed cupcakes and huge chocolate chip cookies.
The kids love going to Uncle JJ's, which is what they call him. They look forward to spending time fishing on the lake every year.
Cathey and I are lucky parents and grandparents!!
Many congrats, Bill and Cathey!

DeleteCathey and I have found that, during our 50 years together, being able to compromise and being patient helps as well. Thanks for the comment.
That is a legit milestone. Congrats on 50!
