Golden

I’ve been thinking about the word “golden” lately. It conjures up feelings of contentment and happiness in my mind, as well as a brightness in both the color and the idea. When I looked up the word in the dictionary, I loved one of the definitions: “rare and precious.”

That’s the image I have of my parents – precious and content. And today, they are celebrating their Golden Anniversary; something rare indeed in today’s world. I’m so thankful for them and the model of Christian living they have shown me and the rest of our family. And I look forward to our family celebration of their milestone this weekend.

Until then, here’s a look at the past fifty years of our family!

Congratulations and God’s Continued Blessings, Mom and Dad!

A Lesson in Drawing Conclusions

So, apparently when the floor in the basement is wet underneath where the bathroom toilet is located and when the floor around said toilet is buckling (been going on since at least this summer), this means there is a leak. That needs to be fixed. Now.

Thanks, Mom, for noticing and making the connection that I, an adult with apparently no common sense, never made.

Anyone know of a good plumber in the Holland, MI area?
