Glory and Trumpets
because it my Mom and Dad's 60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

Congratulations Char and Al. I asked Mom what they'd be doing to celebrate and she noted that she would be going to Macphail Center for the Arts for her cello quartet (the woman's been playing cello for seventy years) "So we'll probably have dinner out this weekend." If I know my Dad, he's probably busy preparing for an upcoming Rotary Event to raise money for biosand filters, which give people around the world clean drinking water.

Those two never slow down! Which is why, no doubt, they've made it to this huge milestone.

Char and Al - 60th Anniversary - July 19, 2012

Love and smooches from your proud daughter.

Peg and Rob
Here they are:



And here is the "tunnel through time" picture we take on our decade anniversaries. (We are holding our tenth anniversary picture of us, holding our wedding picture. Ten years from now, we will hold this picture.)

Tunnel Through Time

Edited to add: Some of you have remarked that you like the way I look today better than the way I looked ten years ago. I agree, but when you consider that I had actually given birth to Delia about a week previous to that picture, I gotta say I looked pretty good then, too, considering.

Edited to add: this poem came up in the comments, and I think it's pretty appropriate, when you consider how this portrait (and the ones we'll take in the future) represents how we change as we age--but the relationship lives on:

When You Are Old

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.


-- William Butler Yeats
