Celebrating 80th & 55th


80 years of living should be celebrated!


And we did!

Our daughter, Christy,her husband Chuck and three of their daughters hosted the big event at their lovely home in Dallas this past Saturday.


I asked granddaughters Chandler and Cassidy to be responsible for some of the food and they went over and above.


They combined their talents and created these amazing charcuterie boards full of delicious meats, cheeses, crackers, fruits and sauces.






We also had warm roll sandwiches that were absolutely delicious and the perfect compliment.


Because our 55th wedding anniversary is only two days after Dick's birthday, our daughter had this gorgeous and delicious cake made.

We were thrilled our nephew Lee and his fiance' Jacqueline were able to come from Little Rock.


Our nephew Glen, who lives in the Dallas area, and Chuck are in deep discussion.


Chuck's sister, Robin and her son Preston joined us.  Sadly, his parents Charles and Sandra were unable to come due to a health issue.



Granddaughter Ava Grace not only assisted with getting the food prepared and served, but also was our main photographer.

Lee and Glen are the son's of Dick's oldest sister, and it was a blessing to have them with us.


Post clean-up was a time to visit and look at Dick's book capturing his past 80 years.  Hopefully, this will be a keepsake for generations to come.

It was a great time and reason to celebrate and we are looking forward to many more.
