MORE CELEBRATION

Soon after our return from Isaac and Lagaytha's, we received a call from Barb Purdy asking if she could come over. She came and brought a beautiful bouquet to cap our anniversary celebration.

ANNIVERSARY DAY

We met Lagaytha at Marie Callender's. "Where are Isaac and Joy?" Joy was delayed picking up our anniversary cake and traffic slowed her also. They called and Lagaytha placed their orders. After a good meal, we returned to Isaac and Lagaytha's for our surprise cake. It was in the shape of a Radio Flyer red wagon with flowers down the middle and a banner that read "Happy 55th Anniversary Norm & Joyce!"

ANNIVERSARY

We started our celebration of number 55 on the 15th with the arrival of Norma. On the 19th, a lady arranged a vase of flowers and displayed them at our church. After church we brought them home. On the 22nd, Norma and Lagaytha joined us at Roaring Rapids for lunch where Norm surprised Joyce with a heart-shaped emerald necklace. The girls went with Mom to the beauty shop for her hair highlighting.

Before Norma left, she gave us a Country Rose vase, a bar of French soap, and a jar of honey.

NORMA'S VISIT

Norma arrived for a visit. She, along with Isaac and Lagaytha came for a meal. The celebration is beginning for our 55th wedding anniversary.

FUN DAY
