My Brother & Sister-in-Law’s Party
Dale & Dot Are Married Forty Years

Dale is my oldest brother, however I am older than him.
Dot and their grandson Jake. Jake, how did you manage to get on both of these pictures?
They chose to celebrate their fortieth anniversary at a local restaurant and invite their immediate family – Saturday, September 13 – the day before their anniversary.
The meal was their gift to us.
We weren’t too far into the meal when someone accidentally bumped something against a glass, and that got everyone to tapping on glasses – proposing that they kiss. They were very willing.

This was also our anniversary – the forty-fifth – notice my corsage and Cerwin’s black eye! The corsage was a gift from Cerwin. The black eye was not my gift to him. 
He was helping a grandson assemble a gun cabinet when a piece of wood slipped and hit him.
