The vase we are offering today marks a happy occasion in our lives. It was on our church altar this Sunday in celebration of our 59th wedding anniversary. My Arranger and I are delighted to share this vase with you.
The flowers are not from our garden, but they do bring us special joy.
Please visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to see what she and others have brought in from the gardens this week.

Wow, 59 years! How wonderful! I think, though, that you must have needed parental permission to marry at age 5! I wish you and your arranger many more happy years together!
