Wow! This can't be! August 12 was my last post? Lots of craziness in my big family so I've focused more on this stuff than on art I suppose. I did a few things which I should post although I've hesitated since they were things that magazines and books had inspired me to try. I always feel like I should have more ingenuity and not have to use other people's ideas. But I did like the results!
We just celebrated our 55th wedding anniversary on September 26th at Lake Tahoe which was a lovely, relaxing time. Marriage is really an interesting topic these days as I've received comments all the way from "I'm sorry!", to people who are stunned that anyone could actually stay married that long! We are parents, grandparents and great grandparents, and though I will admit it wasn't always a bed of roses, at this stage of the game, we both thank God for His provision and blessing in our marriage. I made Ed a little book that pinpoints some events in his life and he seemed genuinely touched. Whenever I have made a book for anyone, he always asked "Is that one for me?" He finally got his book! When I look at our wedding picture, (and he was movie star cute!), I wonder if I would have ever dreamed what the next 55 years would bring? I think it's good that we can't always see into the future. I was not even 19 years old and had no vision of real adulthood but I learned FAST! As an Air Force wife, we had more than our share of separations but oh, those reunions!!! : ) Life is very comfortable after 55 years together. Enough of this....off to post some more pictures finally!

What a lovely picture of the two of you! congratulations on 55 years together. My parents were married for a little more than that, when he made his transition. My husband and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in January. Things haven't always been great, but they've always been wonderful! I'm looking forward to what lies ahead. It sounds like you are too!
Congratulations (belated!!) on your anniversary Pat! I'm with you Pat, I think it's far better one day at a time (vs seeing the whole stretch ahead). The book is great and your wedding photo is stunning.
xo,

That is a FABULOUS wedding photo and you are so right! That is definitely movie star photo! Congrats on longevity and way to show those young'ins how it's done!
55 years, wow congrats to you and yours!
Hi Pat, You are BOTH movie star Cute!!! BETTER, even! Sally
Congratulations to you both! I just got married last year, and can't imagine what the future will bring, but I hope we are as happy and comfortable 55 years later as you two are.
That's a beautiful wedding picture. And such a thoughtful gift. It inspires me to do something personal like that for my husband at Christmas, I can never figure out what to get him. :) But I know he would love something arty and made by me.
