Anniversary Wishes and Pink Saturday





This is a special day. Sixty-seven years ago my parents were married. They have been "Dot & John" to their friends, "Mom & Dad" to my brother and me, and "Mom-Mom & Pop-Pop" to their grandchildren. I am blessed they are both still here to celebrate this day. My mom has had so many health problems this past year, I would never have guessed it. My dad at 90 is amazing and will still even play a little golf, but I have seen his decline as well in the past few months...now needs a walker most of the time. That said they both have enormous faith, love their family and each other, and possess positive spirits that I hope I can have at their age!!
HAPPY 67th ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU BOTH ALWAYS!!!!!!!!! ****************************************************
A few clippings and cards from my mom's scrapbook....note the ***PINK*** details.
Some pretty pink old flowers I found recently... They measure 3 1/2" across and have a pink pom pom in the center plus a faux pink pearl. Old store stock in their original packaging. What is it about the old millinery?

So sweet and pretty!
No stems on these, I suppose they were glued to old hats? I am not sure yet what I'll do with them, but think of the possibilities!!! Happy Pink Saturday and Happy 4th of July tomorrow!!!
Thanks for visiting and thanks to Beverly for hosting Pink Saturdays

Hi sweet Betzie, I too am so late posting this week. It's so slow and I know that is because so many are away or busy with friends and family. I hope you and your family have a wonderful 4th and be safe and happy. I see that your beautiful mother and father are celebrating an anniversary. Congratulations to the beautiful couple. Their wedding picture is so pretty and they look so happy. Your father is very handsome in his navy uniform and your mother in her wedding dress.
It's a treasure that you have your mother's scrapbook, what a priceless piece of history. Happy Pink Saturday girlfriend and enjoy today. God Bless all those men and women who fight for our liberty and freedom. God Bless America, Char

Hi Betzie,
I missed this post, but wanted to stop by and wish your parents a very happy anniversary. 67 years is a true accomplishment and an inspiration to others.

I wish for them healthy days ahead and true happiness as they celebrate their wonderful life together. I love the pic of them and the vintage cards. God bless your family always.

Hugs,
Celestina Marie
