Bells Ring Out

It's another family holiday--congratulations to Older Son and Daughter-in-law on the anniversary of their wedding. Ah--Fiorella remembers the occasion well. The family drove up to Kansas in a rented van, and the first night out, they woke up to discover that a freak hailstorm had cracked its front windshield. The whole rest of the trip, they were peering through crazed glass.

But the bride was beautiful and the groom was handsome and the wedding went off without hitch except that Fio read the wrong Bible verse.

Daughter-in-law is still beautiful and son is still handsome--and they are still together. Congratulations.

Celebration

Today is Husband and Fiorella's wedding anniversary. Three children, three houses, seven dogs, four cats, innumerable guinea pigs, and at least fifteen vehicles later, they're still together, with more to come. Happy anniversary, honey.
