We had an absolutely perfect anniversary party, thanks partly to Mel and Keith. (Melody isn't one of my own children but I would adopt her if her mother would allow it. LOL!) That sweet Melody took pictures all day long and did her usual super job of it too. I treasure them all as she managed to capture very good images of everyone who attended plus do some very creative picture taking in such cramped quarters. My house is small and I still don't see how she managed to accomplish all that she did picture-wise. She is a treasure to have for a friend and I consider myself fortunate to be able to call her "friend". That sweet husband of hers played the guitar almost the entire time and his back was killing him the entire time. I didn't have a clue as he didn't say a word until it was time to put the guitar back in the case. I consider that loyalty above and beyond the call of duty. Anyone but Keith would have bowed out of playing and said that he just wasn't up to it. That and so many other things make us love them both so much and make them so thankful for their friendship.
Thanks to all of your for your sweet words of congratulations. The Lord has truly blessed us by giving us 50 years of a wonderful marriage. I can only wish the same for all of you lovebirds out there. Donna, congratulations to you on your 36th anniversary. You will be surprised but it will seem like only yesterday when you reach your 50th.
Busybee, I also hope to see my photo here when I reach my 75th. I doubt if I will recognize who I am by then though. LOL! Now maybe I can get busy trading plants with you. You have patiently waited for me to get through with my daughter's wedding and the anniversary celebration. Now it is time to get back to life as we know it here in Nashville and that means gardening and making good on my plant trades.
