August 18 is Tom’s parents’ fiftieth wedding anniversary. They put together the most wonderful book of photos and their written memories of their first meetings, their courtship, and their wedding–a true gift of legacy writing for all their children and grandchildren to cherish. I snagged a couple of photos to share here.
Mary and Jerry on their wedding day.
There are so many good photos that show how gorgeous her dress was, and she and her mother together created it on this old Singer machine. Just seeing this picture conjures up the sound of my mother’s Singer machine as she made curtains, kids’ clothes, and Barbie fashion. And I’m sure Mary and Mother did all that sewing without nearly the amount of cussing that happens in the room with me and my Brother machine!
Happy anniversary, Mary and Jerry!
HEE!
It is so good to imagine you cursing as you are sewing.
I had never imagined that, somehow.
Though I relate.
I do.

Your ears would be on fire!
