Our 60th Anniversary

August 5th, 2007 was a memorable day for me and Virginia. To celebrate, we decided we would repeat the same type party we had for our 50th Anniversary. We invited 25 friends and family members to join us at First Methodist Church for the 8:30 am service, and afterward, we all would meet back at our house for brunch and a little celebration. Forty people showed up, and Patricia and Ben and Willis helped prepare all the food, and helped to direct traffic at home. The food and fellowship was fantastic especially with son David and his wife, Charlene and their kids and grandchildren. Then we had a special treat when Wren and his Virginia showed up from Dallas by surprise.

At the church service, Patricia and Ben sang one of our favorite hymns, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and Willis accompanied them on piano. Willis began the program with his rendition of Southside Will Shine Tonight. This was the "official" school song of my Elementary School he had arranged as though it were a hymn.

All this brought on the "water-works".
