The Platinum Anniversary

Paul's family with the guests-of honor
48 stars on the flag in the gym
The gym was built in the early 1950's, when Owen was on the Louisville School Board. It was Owen & Reva's first choice for the party location for sentimental reasons. Thankfully, the afternoon was cool and rainy since the gym is un-air-conditioned. And the gym was actually a nice location because it gave the children plenty of room to run and play without being underfoot.

After church on Sunday, we met back at Owen & Reva's for lunch and visiting (if you notice Andrew, when I tried to put him on the grass, he refused to be put down; it became quite the party trick)

Sarah and Matthew entertain their great-grandfather while Grandmother watches the rest of us from the porch


Andrew and I visit with Grandmother. She's not able to hold the babies but is always happy to have them near her.

These photos make my heart go pitter-pat, partly because I was a gerontology major and partly because I love my grandmothers.

Loved the pictures. They mean a lot even to those who know none of you personally. Thanks.
