Happy Anniversary!

Today is my parent's 58th wedding anniversary. They are still going strong and laugh with each a lot...every day. They are two wonderful people and have been an unbelievable source of support for their seven children, twenty-three grandchildren and one great-grandson.

In The Mood is one of my father's favorite tunes. We have it played at every family wedding so we can all dance with him (well, all the girls do). So, as a shout-out to my parents - who never read this blog - I say Happy Anniversary! and here's to you both with love!

In The Mood, Tex Beneke and the Glenn Miller Orchestra

That is fabulous. I pray Ryan and I last 58 years and that we are as successful at marriage, child rearing and being true partners as Booka & RS...or Jack and Rita...if you aren't "in the know." :)

in the mood is one of one songs i know how to play on the piano. however, my brother can play it FAR better than i can, so i usually have memories of retiring the piano to him so he could show me off. i love this song.

58 YEARS! WOW! Having been married only 7 years, I can tell you that 58 is quite the accomplishment.
