65th Anniversary

Last Sunday we celebrated Russ and Elsie's 65th Anniversary. Congratulations. All of the "kids" were there. We went to church, lunch at Thunder Bay, and back to their home for cake.

Still going strong after 65 years.

Linda and Jess gave each of the kids a framed photo. Thanks!

It's all about the cake.

The flowers came from church. The glasses were a gift for their 60th anniversary and match the cheese / hors d'oeuvre plate. The pressed leaves were collected this fall from the cabin.

The shore was lined with colorful trees. Great weekend for fall colors.

This seagull really wanted the minnow but I don't think he got it until we left.
