Marriage, Blessed from on High. 
Not every moment has been perfect.  We have lived with and without.
Our children were not perfect as we thought they would be, being raised in a good Christ centered home.
Our health is not perfect.  Some short term, some longterm problems.
But I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt
I am blessed.


Yesterday I posted this for pink Saturday.  Because I KNOW my marriage is only good because of the goodness of our God I decided to also post it with Spiritual Sunday.  http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com/

Pink Roses and Orchid for a perfect Saturday

Today we celebrate 39 years of a blessed marriage.  

The ceremony was beautiful.  

The flowers and dresses simple compared to today

The reception was in the basement of the church 

with cake and punch. 

Maybe couples need to return to the simplicity 

and concentrate on the commitment.

Blessings to all you  wonderful Pink Sat. Bloggers.

Antique Toy Trucks - Family Competition for Bragging Rights 

Linking up with 
Vintage Thingie Thursday
WE NEED YOU TO VOTE!
In early September three sisters went to a flea market.
What one bought the others wanted.
SO all three bought antique toy trucks.
We decided it would be fun to have a contest for bragging rights as to who did the most creative job.

Everyone who votes will have their name in a drawing for a miniature antique truck. We will choose a name at the end of October.

#2 Gone Hunting

#3 Pumpkin Patch

Just leave a message with your choice.  Make sure you have your e-mail available so we can get an address to send the miniature truck to the lucky voter.  No need to follow unless you really want to.

I don't know how to do a side badge so if you want to pass our blog along we would love to get LOTS of votes.. You can copy our picture and link it to us if you want with just the words Vote.

You can also vote at Ann's Tin and Sparkle

School Days 1935

Today I am joining Kard Krazy for Tag Tuesday.  I have been really busy so... I have done my tag to cover the week of School Days and Banners.  This picture is of my daddy in 1935.  He was 12.  My sister Ann of Tin and Sparkle used another picture of Dad and some of his brothers and sisters in a school photo.

Thanks for stoping in and make sure you go to Kard Krazy to check out last weeks School days and this next weeks challenge of using Banners.

Have a blessed week!
