Yes, it’s true… my parents are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary!
Hard to believe that they’ve been together since just after high school… with three kids
and three grandchildren to keep them “young” at heart… and “grey” at head!!!

So to celebrate, we gathered the family and a few close friends for a fun day
of bowling & food. In addition to our small immediate family, the Mueller family
joined us too! We’ve know the Muellers ever since I was in 4th Grade… when she came
to my school and got me to join 4-H… and got my parents to become 4-H Club Leaders!!!
So they came with their kids & grandkids… who played well with my cute niece Taylor!!!

If you my parents at the next art fair, be sure to congratulate them on their 50 years!
And thank them for being the my most supportive “art fair assistants” ever!!!
