HONORED & BLESSED

Good morning! Thank the Holy Lord God, we were blessed with a beautiful Lord's Day Sunday. Our precious family honored us with a 'Silver 25th Anniversary' party at our son and daughter in-loves beautiful spacious home. The day began with an answered prayer: 'A Sunny Sunday', we sat to worship in front of the new sun streaming glass screen door. The boy were handsomely dressed, Joe had on his Herringbone suit jacket and Rebekah wore her beautiful Celtic gown with a silver cross on the bodice. To be honest with you, I have a hard time getting 'dressed up', but I thought this is a special occasion. So therefore, I wore a 2 piece ecru- set my sister gave me from P. Rico, it has an olive green floral jacket, a fall style really nice.

Everyone got busy preparing for the party in the kitchen. We were told not to open the refrigerator (the cake was in there). The meal consisted of Cucumber & artichoke soup for appetizer, Baked Lasagna & Homemade pan Italiano smelled delicious. The table setting was gorgeous and the two tier home-created Masipan cake was beautiful. There was a tiny silver framed pictures of Andy & me on the cake. The reception table had two silver framed 'antiqued 'pictures of our wedding.

Finally the guest arrived Starla & David (Rebekah's parents) and Scott & Angie(Becky's sister) and their children. Everyone came bearing gifts, it was so exciting, I almost started crying. We are so proud an honored by our wonderful & thoughtful son Joseph & his wife Rebekah and their precious sons. The three course meal was laid out on ecru -linen tablecloth, and the feast began with fun & fellowship had by one & all. The children and adults sat seperate, but we could still hear their fun & laughter. The meal was well received as it was timely, hot and delicious.

Then Davey began the gift giving with two art clippings of our favorite birds it was really nice & neat. Thank you, David William we appreciate your personal artistic touch. Joey created & baked the cake with momma, and we really love the way it was designed with silver beads on top with the number 25,. Great job Joey!!! Thank You. Our son Joseph toasted us & gave a speech, and with his lovely wife Rebekah presented us with two beautiful silver framed wedding pictures. Thank you both for all your love & thoughtfulness. Andy & I are truly grateful for it all.

Angie gave us a sweet drawing rendition of a blue bird, it is so pretty, we really love it a lot. Starla & David's gifts were beautiful, a 25th anniversary plate with love birds (our favorites) and a Kitty candle holder (with bobbing head). Thank you for the precious one of a kind unique gifts, we really love them. Last but not least the Widner children gave from their heart. A big planter of English Ivy, my favorite ! the black soil came from Angie's house and the precious plant from Starla's front yard. We were surprised & delighted at all the originality that went into creating these unique & precious gifts.

Our sincere thank you for all the loving Fellowship we shared together.

Remember: Enjoy & cherish the love for each other always..
