Thursday was Papa and Mama Franks' 60th wedding anniversary. On Friday the family had them a surprise dinner party. We made a quick trip to Alabama for the occasion. We left Thursday evening after the nursing home service and arrived around midnight. Friday morning the kids swam at Papa and Mama Overton's while I worked on the anniversary cake and Daddy swam/studied/helped me with the cake. The whole family was at the party and we actually pulled off the surprise. Papa and Mama were tickled to have the family together. This usually only happens once a year at Christmas. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and dessert, but mainly just enjoyed being with the family and rejoicing with Papa and Mama for the great accomplishment of being married for sixty years. This is such a rare thing in our society today. I am thankful for Papa and Mama and the example that they have set for our family and friends. We love you Papa and Mama Franks and congratulations once again!
