97. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, with Photos of Couples in our Extended Family!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, ALL! Wayne and I have had a tradition for many years on Valentine's Day, and on our Wedding Anniversary -- Wayne is so thoughtful and always gives me a gift that has a feminine flair! The little tradition involves something Wayne found years ago, and between special days, it has a spot in our storage cabinet. He gets up earlier than I do, and has it all set up and lighted! A fun TRADITION ! ! Anita took pictures of it.
We tried a black background, and a white one, so I'll put both on. As you can see, it has a cord, and when plugged in, the roses have a light inside! A simple thing, but it is a TRADITION! !
These photos below are not in any particular order! Us, our parents, and the grandparents we have photos for, mostly wedding pictures. We do have pictures of other ancestors, some of which are on the blog already. but we will add them later, with their stories. If you'd like to read more about someone here, please go to their names and click, and it will bring up the blogs that include stories about them. My parents are in several blogs, which you can find by their names. I'll put some others on here ---
