Today, my parents are celebrating their anniversary
together in heaven.
This is their Wedding Photo taken June 16, 1946.
My Daddy returned from his four years of service during WWII in 1945.
That’s Daddy on the right, with his brother Raymond.
Here he is, driving his Model T Ford,
posing with all the ladies.
My mother was the lucky lady that stole his heart.
He proposed and they were married just a year later.
Not completely sure what vehicle they drove on their honeymoon,
however I’m guessing it’s the pickup right in front of the hotel.
Because it sure looks like this
1936 International Pickup.
And that looks like my Daddy’s Wedding Suit.
Whatever they drove, they sure got good gas mileage.
I’m also curious about this,
how much did they pay to park in this lot?
And where were they going to spend the day?
My parents lived here, in this house, from 1946-1970.
My Daddy farmed the land and my mother quit teaching
to take on the role of being a Farmer’s Wife.
Of course, that house was swallowed up
by the Devils Lake flood water, too.
I have many memories of growing up
with my parents in that house.
Thinking about them, celebrating together in heaven,
doing a little Two-Step around the dance floor to
“Alley Cat” …my Daddy’s favorite tune.
Spend time with those you love.
Celebrate Special occasions.
Be present in your ordinary everyday activities.
Ask lots of questions of your parents and grandparents.
Make Sweet Memories.
Take care,
~Natalie
