Anniversary

Last night we celebrated busylizzy's parent's 60th wedding anniversary. Their nephew and his wife have a wonderful home on the mountain and they were gracious enough to allow us to use it for the dinner and celebration. It was done up in grand style with all the beautiful Christmas decor already in place. We were around fifty people and there was more than enough room for us all. The ladies presented us with an absolutely delicious and beautiful dinner. After a great visit over dinner, we enjoyed a program consisting of some of the grandsons playing the piano, some speeches, a wonderful video on the life and times of the oldies, and a skit put on by busylizzy and her brother. It was a great evening and doubled as our Christmas gathering for 2010. Many of us will be away this year so we will not see the whole gang again for some time. Like my father-in-law said, "who knew all this would come to pass when I put my arm around your mom, a total stranger, and she did not pull away."  Well, I say that God knew and He has been good.
