February 2

Today is my daughter and son-in-law's 37th anniversary. I do remember it was snowing at the church on that day! She was a beautiful bride and is even more beautiful inside than anyone I know.

Today they are parents and grandparents. Their daughter is the mother of twin boys. Their son is a very hard worker and grows giant pumpkins. So much of life has been experienced by this couple through the past 37 years and we all wish them a Very Happy Anniversary!

By the way, today is Groundhog day! Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so we will have six more weeks of Winter!

Nineteen Eighty Five!

It was Groundhog day then, as it is every year on this day. That makes it easy to remember the date of our daughter's wedding. Yes, it was squally and snow was flying in 1985 as well as it is doing today. The groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning so we now know we'll have six more weeks of winter. REALLY?

Here are a couple of pictures of then and now.

I just baked a couple of pumpkin/sweet dried cranberry loaves, hoping to share with them! I don't think I'd be baking these if their anniversary were to be in the heat of summer!

Groundhog Day

It had better be a VERY cloudy day so Phil will stay OUT!

UPDATE:

Well.. they say he saw his shadow. NO WAY! The only shadow he saw was one from the cameras and lights.

From Pennsylvania trivia #50:

Punxsutawney citizens are proud to be over shadowed by their town's most famous resident the world-renowned weather forecasting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. Punxsutawney is billed as the weather capital of the world.

Bedroom floor is still very cold and the nine men ice fishing are NOT seeing their shadows!

And gold stars go to ... Meow!
