It is my grandparent's 60th anniversary today. 
This is them in 1945, in England. Pretty handsome couple, huh?
We went out for dinner tonight and had roast beef and Yorkshire puddings. I can't remember the last time I've been able to order Yorkshire puddings in a restaurant. Yes, I can - it was up here. Yorkshire puddings mean celebration to me - they were always the special occasion meal. I love 'em.
Thier party yesterday was nice. More people showed up than expected even - we had to pull out extra chairs. It is great to see them so loved in their community. They are both really quite active still, and had friends from the senior drop-in center, from their carpet bowling club, from Grandma's aerobics class... I hope I have so many friends whem I'm 85.
This is them yesterday.
I'm so glad I was able to come up here this weekend.
Happy anniversary, Grandma and Granddad.
Holy Crap! You look just like your Granny!

Dona! Your G's are Adorable! You are LUCKY that you still have grandparents alive. I lost mine long ago. Where do they live/where did you go to see them? Talk to them, ask them questions, have them tell you stories---appreciate their wisdom and history. love, Jennine
