205 West Gaston--My Grandparent's house
Papa Bill and AnnCarter
AnnCarter loved her Great Grandfather!
AnnCarter and Uncle Will!
Mary Ellen made the cakes (with some assistance from my mom). This cake is in honor of Papa Bill's love for cutting and watering his grass, which at 89, he still does every week.
Will and Katherine
AnnCarter with Mame Ernie (her great grandmother) and Kakie--Mama Ernie's oldest sister (she's 98!) who surprised her by coming to the party.
My dad and AnnCarter
Carter playing with her 3rd cousin (I think), Shelby :-)

Papa Bill and Katherine
Mama Ernie and Papa Bill's grand entrance to the evening portion of the party. A 40s style band came and played. Mama Ernie and Papa danced the "Anniversary Waltz," my aunts and uncles put on a skit for their parents and we all reminisced.
Some of the crowd. I think there were close to 140 people (60 of those being my immediate family of aunts, uncles, cousins and now many great grandkids).
The Frank Love Band. (The gentleman on the far left was my mom's and all of her siblings band director back in high school. His name is Mr. Deal. I believe he's 90 now and still playing and imparting the love of music to others.)
The skit included a poem about my grandparents and their life, as well as old tunes sung intermitently throughout.
A thank you from both Mama Ernie and Papa Bill before more music and dancing.
