I was privileged to photograph Dick and Connie's 50th anniversary celebration. They are dear friends in our church and enjoyed Bible studies at their home on Sunday evenings in the past few years. Here are highlights of their day.
Many hands of grandchildren to make some joyful music for grandma Connie!
My Three Sons!
Dick said they always line up like this!

A lamp with a story! Notice the crack!
I don't remember what it was but it was a memory for them!
It's time for a nap! The end of a long day. Actually she wasn't feeling on top of the game today and she just needed some time to rest. That's how I felt after the celebration! But it was a fun day to celebrate a marriage of a couple who have weathered the travels and deployments when Dick was in the US Navy. It's a testament to us that married life can last through the good, the bad and life in general! Amazing and wonderful, Dick and Connie. God Bless You!
This is a favorite balloon from a hot air balloon festival I attended in June. It reminds me of the Lifesaver roll of candy when I was younger. So yummy and fruit flavored. Cheery colors. My day at work was slow and I was tired. I was thinking of this balloon while sorting through some photos tonight to post. On days that are melancholy and long, I could just float away for awhile. I have been thinking of words to write in a card I'm making for friends who lost their daughter in an accident last week. Kayla was only 12 years old. I remember her in the Sunday School class Phil and I taught. It's hard to lose anyone but it seems to hurt worse when the person is young.So many things she and her family won't get to celebrate. But we know that there is a reason she's gone and not suffering. I will just lift UP prayers to God for the family and give the family comfort in words and hugs at Kayla's celebration of life on Friday.
