Happy 50th Anniversary Mom & Dad!
This board is in honor of the two people who raised me on this, their Golden Anniversary.
My parents were married 50 years ago today.In my grandparents backyard under an avacado tree. My mom wore a blue dress and had flowers in her hair. My Dad wore a navy suit. If you read my posts you know that I lost my mother three years ago, and we won't be having a party today to celebrate them. Five years ago, my now husband and I were able to celebrate their 45th with them. I am glad we were able to at least celebrate that one in style.
