Subject: NBR - but Butler would probably disagree....

.....the 50th anniversary party was last Saturday night. We had nearly 150 people there. I worked for three days getting the building decorated and the last minute details pulled together. First, my party planner developed a bulging disk, then the photographer had an emergency and was called out of town (he did have a friend fill in for the same price he and I had agreed on), and lastly the caterer didn't show up when he was supposed to. He got stopped for speeding on the way to set things up, which delayed our getting started somewhat. All was well, though, in the end.

My oldest daughter, Kristi, gave my parents a video of the 50 years they've been together. She and I worked endless nights going through thousand of pictures, literally. We finally decided on 200 which ended up being an almost 20 minute video. It was bittersweet - and was a total surprise to my parents.

Everything was beautiful; my parents were like two kids at Christmas. My mother did mention something about their 75th Anniversary (which is not out of the question because they married at the ages of 15/20). I told her if we're all still around then, she's on her own with that one. In 25 years, I won't have any energy left to plan another party. I would be nearly 73 myself. LOL

And to make this about Butler - he is glad there are no more parties to plan. I was in/out, in/out so much that I don't think he knew when I was home and when I wasn't. Poor baby, I bet he hasn't thought about Thanksgiving and Christmas being just around the corner.
