Today we celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary. It was rather low key since I told Jim I wanted to spend the day shopping in Dothan (alone) to buy some new clothes. He was happy I didn't ask him to go with me. He gave me a beautiful anniversary card when I got home around 4:30 PM this afternoon. I left home at 7:30 A.M. and was gone all day. I bought some new fall clothes for our trip to Texas on Oct. 17th. Our son Ronnie called from Austin tonight to wish us happy anniversary, as did my sister Alice.
The photos posted here are from our 50th Golden Anniversary at Ocean Isle, NC where many of our family gathered at the beach for a celebration. Our family rented a large condo for several of us to stay and to have the party. Bill ordered a big sign to put up on the balcony.
Alice ordered a wedding cake and a week or so before the event when she made the trip down to Ocean Isle to check on things. She had called to Food Lion in advance- and when she went by to place the order ahead of time - that was when she found out that they couldn't do the small cake- She went to Wal-Mart and several other places around there- then found the bakery on U.S 17 down toward Myrtle Beach area- an ice cream and cookie shop- which had formerly made wedding cakes- She told the owner about her plight and she agreed to make the small cake- So it was a relief that it was settled before the big weekend -- She was nice to lend Alice her cake stand and columns- which we used and returned the next day. She was such a nice lady to do this on such short notice, and the cake was delicious
Our 5 granddaughters had fun visiting with each other and helping with the party. The two on the right , Allison (Ally) and Elizabeth (Lizzy) live in Austin, TX. The other three, Nerissa, Katie and Caroline, live in Florence, SC. Nerissa, Ally and Lizzy are all in college now; Katie is a Jr in high school, and Caroline is in 6th grade. They are growing up too fast!
