For My OWM
And for my belated Nostalgia as a Test Run Only ...
I couldn't almost forgive myself for nearly forgetting the most important event in our family. Today, the USA celebrates Independence Day. And my country perhaps is still observing Fil-Am Friendship Day; though in my elementary years, July 4th was used to be our Independence Day too!Then the icing of the cake: July 4th has a very special personal meaning to me. About 62 years ago today, my beloved departed folks said their vows in marriage. Should they have been still around, we would have been gathering around to celebrate their own Wedding Anniversary.
"I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance,One more quote:
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife."~ Author Unknown

Congratulations on all the festivities! How are you doing? i hope you are in good health!
ReplyDeleteYes it's been a long time since we wrote comments on each others blogs. Not that I didn't want to, but I had a very busy and long winter with a lot on my plate. I survived!! And my daughter and family came all the way from Australia and stayed here during May. It was wonderful to see the grandchildren after two years. They grow so fast. Have a great week!
Bonnie: So nice that you have so many remembrances on the 4th of July, thanks so much for sharing on your visit.
ReplyDeleteYou have lovely memories of your parents, great photo of you, Bonnie! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of you and great memories.
ReplyDeleteA touching post. I'm glad you have one photo of your mom!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet:

I would recognise that smile anywhere, Bonnie. Your Mother looks like a nice lady and yes, she looks serene. I think we all have photos of the "thin" me. Except the "thin" me left a very long time ago. I wish she'd come back though.

Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned about the new blog template and embedded thing. I am having trouble again with my stories site. The comments are not posted on the site, though I am informed on my yahoo a'c. I wonder if there is a virus.
Cheers,
Ann
Wow, skinny BB! You and your mom have a lot of similarities in features!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special day to get married! A date we will never forget!
P.S. I tried calling you a couple of times, but I guess you were not home. Talk to you soon!
Beautiful photos Bonnie, two lovely ladies with the sweetest smiles. Happy celebrations!
