Fifty Years - A reason to celebrate!

What a nice celebration the family had for my in-laws celebrating their golden anniversary.  It was a fun evening sharing stories and honoring the life these two have created together.  They set a wonderful example of how marriage is a partnership, and how to have a lot of fun along the way (note the hand constructed "contract" pic.)  Congrats Chuck and Donna!

It seems like just a few (26 to be exact) years ago that the photo below was taken.  Since then "Chonna" as we lovingly refer to them, added "wonderful grandparents" to their list of successful tasks.  While the two grandchildren we provided them were not able to join in the festivities of the 50th Celebration, they certainly were there in spirit.

The grandchildren that were able to attend brought a lot of energy with them - it was really great to see them all together.
