  11. My Parent’s 50th

This has been an amazing week. And part of the reason this ezine didn’t get out until Monday afternoon instead of Sunday night. My parent’s celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a party this weekend. It was so much fun. We had a little over 80 people attend and so many more who couldn’t make it that we wish were there. One of my cousins told us that less than 5% of marriages make it to 50 years. Clearly that’s not all divorce. Some people, like some friends of mine, were almost there when one spouse passed away. It’s really quite a milestone, although I’ll admit I can’t imagine buy cheap cialis online living with somebody that long!

Growing Cialis Online pills up my sister Lisa and I were pretty much the oldest grandkids on my mom’s side of the family so aside from Collena and Cathy, we loved our cousins very much, but weren’t really that close to as children. On my dad’s side of the family we were right in the middle and were very close. I’m going to post a few pictures, but wanted to point out the line of girl cousins from the Mitchell side, I guess I’m probably right in the middle age wise of the cousins and even though some of us hadn’t seen each other outside of facebook for 21 years, we picked up right where we left off. We also realized that so many of us have the same sense of humor! Hey girls if you are reading this….Boobs up!

Please enjoy a few of the photos from the party.

    Lori, These are great pictures! Are those gals your cousins? I think it’s awesome your parents have been together for 50 years. I’m a little over half way there myself! : )

    Hi Cheryl,
    Yes, those are the Mitchell girl cousins who were there. There are a few more but they live all over the country. This was the only photo that even came out half way serious. We took about 6 of them and somebody was always laughing or doing something silly to make everybody else laugh. We all held it together for about 30 seconds to get this one shot.

    Thank you, and there is definitely a story behind “boobs up” but it is nowhere near as exciting as it sounds.
