My parents celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary March 19th. How wonderful it must be to share your lives together for so long and still like to be with each other. What a blessing! My parents were always said to be the example of what love and marriage was all about. How lucky I was to grow up in a household where there was much love, respect, dedication and stability. So many people I knew came from "broken homes" and did not have a home life like I did. I was very lucky to have two parents who adored me and only wanted the best for me. Looking back on the memories of the home I knew as a child, I miss those years.
This year my aunt and uncle drove down from NY to be with my parents on their anniversary. Tim and I joined them for dinner at the Red Lobster. Afterwards we went back to my parents house for some uber good cupcakes from one of our local bakers. The next week we went to my parents for dinner with everyone. A friend of mine I have known since we were little sent me a recipe for Chicken Bacon Ranch that is cooked in a crockpot. I passed the recipe on to my Mom and that was what we had for dinner. Yum! Last Saturday everyone came to our house for dinner. That was probably the best meal I have ever cooked in my life! They met our new puppy, Gracie, which everyone loved and saw all the renovations we did on the house since they had visited last. We had the best time just being together and visiting. Tonight we are joining everyone for dinner at the only place in the Memphis area to get BBQ...Brad's BBQ. This will be our last dinner together, as my aunt and uncle will be leaving tomorrow to head back to NY.
In our home, there's plenty of love, laughter, and craziness.
