A memorable celebration

Dearest Blogger friends. Today I celebrate an auspicious occasion - on my own.

Today, 50 years ago on 4th March 1972, Grant and I married. 

When I look at my wedding album, the smiles and the expectation of great things waiting in our lives, I think, thank goodness we cannot see into the future...

Nevertheless, I've enjoyed a good life and even though, I was widowed more than four years ago, I decided that I was NOT going to ignore such an important date when it came around. 

Today, on my own,  I am celebrating my 50th anniversary.

A more recent photo of me and Grant  at our son, Angus' wedding many years later

Thank you to my dear sister, Rose, on my right in the group wedding photo. Rose and I have always been close siblings even into our golden years.  And to my sister-in-law, Shelley, who married Grant's brother (the young man on the far left of the photo) a few years later and with whom I have had a close relationship for 46 years.  Rose and Shelley contacted me first thing this morning and said they were thinking of me. How very  special...

HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY

  1. This is such a lovely post dear Jo - and even though Grant is not with you I still congratulate you on 50 years, especially for moving on in such a positive way these past four years. The wedding pix are awesome - you were an exquisite bride, so pretty - still are - and the two of you certainly made a fabulous life together.
    Where were you married BTW?
