Nifty Fifty

The insanity began Friday evening with dinner at our house for the arriving out-of-towners. The group in the dining room was much quieter than the group on the front porch. In spite of the temps, we enjoyed a fire on the patio later.

Saturday, our sisters and husbands were responsible for one heck of a feast and gathering. Smoked brisket, courtesy of Leon, and Ken's pork headed a menu that also included a couple of kinds of coleslaw, Libby's great potato salad, potato logs, and three kinds of cake. Grandson Elliot claims to have had seven pieces. I'm sure his parents are enjoying him this afternoon.

We posed for the  fifty years-post-wedding photos and then the party began. All of our children and siblings were present from locations as widespread as Atlanta, Dallas, Lincoln, NE and St. Louis, MO. A treat for me was the attendance of four college roommates, including a bridesmaid from the wedding. Entertainment included Sophie and Libby's 'unicorn hairstyles', of which I unfortunately have no photos.

Several, including  Jessi, modeled the chicken hat (or is it a turkey?)

Brother Jim made us a pair of CDs with 50 songs from 1963, including the top two of the year, "Sugar Shack" and that classic, "Sukiyaki." But the hit was a performance to "Twist and Shout" by Jessi, Jill and Harriet, ending with a slide across the floor from Mary.

All in all, a wonderful celebration--many thanks to our families, described by Jim as "a wacky, slap-dash gene-pool."
