65 Years Of Marriage
I want to dedicate today’s post to my parents as yesterday they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. I am proud of them for sticking it out through the good times and the bad.
My parents weren’t rich while I was growing up, however, they took my brother and me camping, fishing, we were both involved in scouting and we were the house that all the kids in the neighborhood hung out at.
We went to the drive in theater, picked wild mushrooms and walked fields looking for Indian relics. Mom made homemade meals every day. It may not seem like much to some people, but to me it was a wonderful way to grow up. We had both our parents that loved us so it couldn’t be any better than that. I am who I am because of them.

And they would probably still be married too. In the old days people worked it out and didn’t take the easy way out by leaving. Happy 90th Birthday to your dad in November!

That was one of my favorite things to do. I remember every piece of flint I would find I would run up to my dad and ask if it was something. When I would find an arrowhead he always made a big deal about it and I felt so happy. Thank you Bernadette!

Diane,
I have been approached about putting ads on my posts by the media company that handles Blogger. Would you mind sharing your experience with advertisement with me?
Thanks, Bernadette

Because I don’t know a lot about computers/advertising, I went with Word Ads. Everything is done for me but I have no control over the ads. I also don’t pay to have the ads added to my blog. Some ads aren’t appropriate for a food blog, like stomach issues. I have the business WP account because I ran out of storage. The amount I make for ads doesn’t even cover the cost for my website, but it helps. I would love to make more but I figure my blog is a hobby, not a job, so I really don’t mind. I hope this helps.
