Five Decades of Wedded Bliss

Congratulations to a very special couple! Fifty years of marriage is an amazing accomplishment, and we celebrated yesterday with a few close friends and relatives. It was so enjoyable to see people we hadn't seen in too many years, to eat some delicious food together, and to share some memories of Grandma M and Poppa's adventures.

It was a great opportunity to take some long-overdue family photos! P's sister and her family live far away and we see them too rarely. The cousins had lots of time this visit to hang out, play WII, practise heavy metal music in the basement, swim at the cottage and out-wit each other with inane riddles.
At the 50th Anniversary celebration, it was so nice to see relatives who travelled many miles to join us. Here is Aunt E, crazy cousin K, and Aunt M (Aunt M is Grandma's sister) who, in spite of the modern mapping capabilities of GoogleMaps and MapQuest still managed to stray off the beaten path en route, enjoyed a lovely scenic country drive, and still made it to the party with plenty of time to celebrate with the anniversary couple.
