25th Anniversary Party

John found a pair of shoes in the morning while I rested some. Phone rang early in the morning and I didn't get to sleep until around noon. Took a two hour nap and then had to get all our stuff together for the party. We wouldn't be coming back to the house before going to our party. Got my hair fixed and then we headed for the Walkersville VFD social hall. Julie was there. She had planned the entire event and assigned her brothers tasks. The decorations were beautiful, the DJ was good, the food was terrific, and we had a MARVELOUS time. I think all our guests did too. The dancing was great - I chair danced a lot since I can't last for a whole dance. Had fun with the grandbabies - Jessica was taking care of me, getting me something to drink. Destiny kept saying she couldn't dance, but I got her on the floor a couple of times. Then when they played one line dance song, she was the first and only one out there who knew the dance. Abby, Katelyn, and Stephanie did their share of dancing too. Amelia danced with Uncle Gary and her cousin, Adam. She was in her glory. Julie is really a good dancer - I want her to teach me some steps. She was hilarious on this one song - the DJ threw her a plastic blow up guitar and she mimicked the solo guitar piece in it. She tried to get Scott to pretend play it, but he wouldn't get on the dance floor. Scott's only time on the dance floor was sweeping it up after the party. Julie had borrowed a standup cardboard bride & groom with cutout faces for us to use. You could get your picture taken by Chris and then he would print it out for you to take home; Desiree delivered the pics to each person/couple. I think everyone got a kick out of that. I even started asking people if they wanted to get their pic taken with me. I was usually the "groom." The food was good - Cliff and Julie spent most of their time making sure everything was available. It was so good to spend time with family and friends. We just had the best time - can't thank our kids enough. Scott (Destiny, Jessica, Katelyn), Chris & Desiree (Amelia, Stephanie, Abby), Julie and Cliff - thanks for giving us such beautiful memories...
