Wednesday, February 11th

This would've been my parents' 53rd anniversary, but they only got to celebrate 51 of them together on this earth... he will have been gone two years next Thursday. Mom grew up on a dairy farm in New Hampshire, Dad was a "city slicker" from New York (who had also lived in Germany)... they met at a dance in Boston; versions always differed as to who made the first move, but of course that was "all in fun".

Their five kids were born in NY (Greg & Steve); Nashville, TN (Susie & Betsy) and Buenos Aires, Argentina (Mike); we live in four different states now (FL, NC, MT & CA) and always have a great time when we are together. I have a picture in my office of my parents, their 5 with spouses and grandkids (a total of 24) on their 50th Anniversary Cruise... Thanks for the memories, Mom and Dad, and Happy Anniversary!!
