Celebrating 54 Years of Marriage

It's hard to believe four years have swiftly passed since Jerry and I celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary.  I told my daughter today, "We're old people who don't realize it!" ;-)

Dinner at Andiamo's

Even though restaurants have reopened from the Covid-19 quarantine, we're not going out to dinner for our 54th anniversary.  We'll celebrate at home tonight by ourselves.

With the reopening of stores, I took 69 old negatives to Express Photo Lab in Livonia last week and my prints were ready for pick-up today.  It's the best $29.38 I ever spent!   I have no idea what happened to the original pictures, but I sure am glad my mom saved the negatives.  Now I can complete one Shutterfly album.  I gave the lab more negatives today to be copied.  Below is a 1957 Christmas photo of me.  In the background is our first television set, a Motorola.  The lady at the photo lab said they had a lot of fun looking at the photos.  Do you remember pop-it beads?  That's what I was wearing. 

The page below will be the inside page [or first page] for all my Shutterfly photo albums.

When we got home from the photo lab, FedEx had finally delivered the teacups to go in The Whitney's Tea for Two To-Go baskets, so I'll be busy assembling baskets for the next day or two.

My son, Steve, posted pictures on Facebook today of the cement floor being poured for our new sanctuary.  The walls will go up next.  It's very exciting!

Be safe and stay well.  The 'new normal' is beginning to emerge.  I saw my first garage sale sign this year while Jerry and I were out today, and I've started receiving Estate Sale notifications for in-person viewing rather than online auctions.  A lot more cars out on the roads now too.
