A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!



August 24, 1968
Congratulations Mom and Dad on 41 years of Marriage! I am so happy that you have both been able to retire together and are spending time having fun and traveling and enjoying the puppies (your new girls) together!

My mom and dad met when my dad was stationed in Groton, CT at the Navy Base ~ he was on a sub during Vietnam. My mom was in nursing school at Backus Hospital in Norwich, CT and her friend was dating my dad's friend. They got set up on a date and... they were married and had 3 daughters and now have 2 grandsons they love to spoil!

(The pics are of my mom and dad on their wedding day. They were married in the same church that Alex and I were married in.)

I think 41 years is an accomplishment too. It's funny growing up I only knew 1 person who's parents got divorced and it was when we were in high school. Then I went to college and so many peoples parents were divorced. Culture shock! It was like divorce was the "new" normal.
