#47 Our Anniversay

Yesterday, my mother and father celebrated the 42nd year as husband and wife. By today's standards that is a lifetime. They are still has as happy as they were on December 20, 1969. The picture to the left is of their wedding day 42 years ago. When I really think about it, my sister and I could be 41 and 39. (WOW)

My parents have always included my sister and I on their anniversary, which I think a fabulous that they have allowed us to participate and share in their special day. So my sister and I always say it is "Our Anniversary." Every year, we (either me or my sister) have always asked, "What are we going to do on our anniversary?"

I remember our "25th Anniversary" fondly. It was their silver anniversary. My parents surprised by taking us in a silver limo to Christmas in the Oaks. We ate at Ruth Chris's Steakhouse (the limo driver was invited to eat with us; he was a friend of my dads). They we had McDonald's ice cream. That was 17 years ago. Time sure does fly.

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!!!
