This year Memorial Day was celebrated on the last Monday in May.
Fifty-nine years ago, Memorial Day was on a Saturday.
My father was on leave from the military.
The date was May 30, 1953.
The day my parents were married.
The maid of honor was my mother’s best friend, Rae.
The best man was my father’s brother, my Uncle Lupe.
They made a lovely wedding party.
Don’t you agree?
It’s time to CELEBRATE!
Happy 59th Anniversary!
Congratulations Mom and Dad!
With much love from “all of us.”

I've always enjoyed writing and finally decided it was time to blog! As part of my profession I write every day, but I'm now trying to take the time to write creatively. My family and friends have been very encouraging as there is little that is written down in the way of a family chronicle. This is a favorite topic of mine! In addition to family history, I write about life, family, friends and faith. My husband is a full-time parent to our special needs daughter. I’ve explored this topic, too. I also enjoy music, crocheting, reading and relaxing with my family. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer!
