50th Wedding Anniversary Party

The party went great. The food, which was planned and prepared by my brother, Keith, was fantastic. Mom and Dad had a wonderful time visiting with family and friends. Everyone that came, made a huge effort to get there and we really appreciated it.

50th Anniversary Update - 5/31/08

Seven days and counting until the big 50th celebration. I finished the slide show! I had a hard time deciding how long to make it. So I settled on 25 minutes and my parents can watch it at their leisure. Warning: they should bring tissues. I need to investigate if it can post it here. Now I've got to get ready for cousins coming in to stay and my other assignments from my brother--he's heading up the shindig. My hubby is working, so I and my daughter are on our own.

50th Anniversary Update

Tom and June

I have worked for days on scanning old photos and editing a video for my parents--I mean DAYS! Sunday afternoon, I turn on my pc. I look for the video. It's not there! I search ... it's just not there! You've got to be kidding me! I'm hoping I'll turn on my pc in a few days and it will magically appear.

Planning a 50th Wedding Anniversary

In one month, my parents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Wow! I have to confess that I didn't realize this year was their 50th. My brother was the one who reminded me about it. Of course, I went into semi-panic mode. What should we do? How much will this cost? Where do we go? Rent a hall? Have it at my house? Go to a restaurant? Take a trip? We finally decided to go the party route and have it at their house. The invitations have gone out and we're waiting on people to RSVP. As of today, 14 are coming. We sent out 50 invites. More updates to come.
