Tuesday's Slice of Life-The Two Writing Teachers I have been sneakily and steathfully preparing for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary...I don't think they'll read this (they don't use the computer much). Planning and prepping for the event has been on my mind a lot. We finally got their wedding album out of the house so I can scan the pictures and continue making the video for the party. I worked with my sis-n-law, Audrey to locate the place for the party, get the supplies and make the invitations. Thankfully, the invitations have been mailed and people are starting to RSVP. All of us kids are hoping that we can keep it a surprise and honor them for reaching 50 years of marriage.
One of the things I learned about in preparing for the celebration that I want to share with the slice community is that you can request letters of commendation/congratulations to be sent to anyone celebrating milestone wedding anniversaries, birthdays or births from the president and congressmen of your state. Especially since I cherish letter writing, I went ahead and made the request (make sure to have at least 6 weeks ahead of the date) to have the letters sent from the president and congressmen. Receiving these letters will add to the whole surprise celebration! I am giddy with excitement for the event-I can't wait...1 month to go!

50 Years Ago...A Special Day to Remember
50 years ago
two hearts joined together
in one love
doubling joy
cutting burdens in half
raising a family of three children
who now are married too
continuing to grow in love
as their parents still do
knowing that marriage
is
love
kindness
caring
sharing
trusting
not easy
hard work
rewarding
fun
in sickness
or in health
in good times or in bad
now and forever!
two hearts
one
love
50 years of trials and tribulations
storying that makes us laugh
storying that makes us cry
gathering around the table
hearing the stories again and again
silly hats, funny faces,
trips down the aisle
going places
beaches, boats
and baseball games
What could be better
than together forever?
A fisherman and his wife,
50 years to remember
the First of September!
