Special Day

It's Ground Hog's day and the little guy did not see his shadow. That's good news to a blueberry farmer, but that's not why this day is important to our family. Sixty-five years ago on February 2nd my grandparents were married. Now that's special! Since then we have been making five generations of memories.                                      
                                                        swinging under the willow tree                     
                                                        snowmobile rides with grandpa          
                                                                   the secret attic loft
                                                                       camping trips       
                                                       birthday and anniversary parties             
                                                                     family reunions   
                                            laughter and card games around the kitchen table          
                                                              outings at Chahinkapa              
                                                             upstairs with the cousins
                                                                         sleepovers
                                                                obedient fluffy Tuffy
                                                         sweet treats on the back deck       
                                                             pontoon rides on the lake
                                                              fish caught off the dock             
                                                             fireside talks and smores       
                                                                   picnic table feasts
                                                     loved ones born and loved ones passed
                                                           graduations and dance recitals
                                                                    whiffle ball games
                                                              faraway moves and visits
                        children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, & great-great grandchildren
                                                     sharing and caring and love for all

                                Congratulations, Grandpa & Grandma! We love you so very much!
