Music Monday – “Through the years, I’ve never been afraid/I’ve loved the life we’ve made/And I’m so glad I stayed right here with you/Through the years”
Happy 52nd Anniversary to my parents! 52 isn’t a big milestone so instead of a plane right and fancy supper out like we did for their 50th a couple years ago, they spent the day seeing a specialist, playing cards with the grandkids and eating takeout Greek food.
