On Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. What an accomplishment... you don't see that happen very often anymore.
We sent them on a night out on the town here locally... I would have loved to have sent them on a trip... but lack of money along with what was the easiest physically for them... warranted a night in their own backyard. We sent them to dinner, to see My Fair Lady... and an overnight stay at the Anniversary Inn. I think they enjoyed themselves and I am sure it was nice be "kid free" for one evening.
On Saturday, we threw a party for them. It was so good to see so many of our family come out to support my parents. They really were appreciative... and I think despite the rain... the party did turn out rather well!
Congratulations Mom and Dad on 50 years... I love you both!
