50 Years of Bliss

A "Golden" Couple

Last week Papa and Grandma Clark came through Minneapolis on their way home (to Bismarck) from Texas where they spend the winter. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together and LTD were in high heaven having them stay with us for a few days. We had such a nice time and the kiddos and I even got a head start on our flower and vegetable garden thanks to Grandma Clark. It was Papa's birthday so of course we had to have cake (cheesecake) complete with candles and song; no hair fires this time :)

On Friday, we were blessed with a weekend visit from Uncle Ken and Aunt Heidi and their girls. We had 7 kids and 4 adults in our home for one big SLUMBER PARTY!!! WOO HOO!!! They came to town because we had one very special event to celebrate: Papa & Grandma Clark's 50th wedding anniversary (in May). We all got together with Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jeff in their beautiful home in Edina together with Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dave, and moved on to a local restaurant. We had a GREAT time catching up and hearing all the Clark stories from the past which are always super comical. Here are a few fun photos from Kozy's in Edina:

Fun times!

Papa and Grandma Clark, thank you for being true role models in showing us all that two are always better than one in enjoying life to the fullest and facing life's toughest challenges. We admire wholeheartedly your unconditional love, your commitment, patience, caring and unselfish devotion to one another for 50 years. May your love and respect for each other continue to be an inspiration. We love you!!!
