Golden Years

Today We Are Married Fifty Years

Fifty years ago

Our lives were tied together

It's been a good life

Adventures untold

There's never a dull moment

Happy ever after

~~~~~

This last weekend we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary with a gathering of the Keller Clan and friends.  Life has been full of many adventures.  I've known for some time that this journey has been guided by Providence.

We have lived in 5 states and our 5 children were born in 4 states.  Each is a treasure, lovingly created with talents and gifts from the Creator.  Our children have been blessed with loving spouses and we have been gifted with 12 delightful and talented grandchildren.

We have so much for which to be grateful!

Thanks be to God!!

Gull at Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls

Ontario, Canada

Such a handsome gull

He's holding court by the falls

Full of majesty

It was such a wonderful visit.  The Falls are captivating and just watching the gulls fly over the falls is entrancing.  Oh, to soar like the birds.

Thanks be to God!

This Old House

Fond memories this

A house and loving home place.

In good times and bad.

Family gathered here

Not only brick and mortar

But love filled it all!

I remember Christmas, Thanksgiving and summer picnic here.  The Folks, as they were called, always had an open door for us kids.  My grandparents had died before I was born so the Aunts and Pat were all I know as extended family.  There were so many overnights as kids. My celebration after my 1st Communion was here. My first opera, Aida, was shared with Pat.  When I graduated from high school I was gifted with a trip to Washington D.C.  with them all.  We had a grand time.  And when they sold the house, and I was in nursing school close by, I would take occasional walks by it, just to remember the good times.  For those times I am truly gratefully.
