Pink Saturday



Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday!!
Today I want to share one of my most favorite pink
treasures....
I found this frame at a Home Goods store last year,
it was appropriately named "Boardwalk"
I knew when I saw it I had just the perfect picture for it......
My parents married in 1946........
a short time after they met........
She was a waitress
at a small diner across the street from
the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk........
just 18 years old........
and he was a driver for Greyhound bus lines........
They raised 6 children......
and were married for 54 years......
she passed away in 2000.....
he passed just 3 short months later.....
I have no doubt they are together now.....
playing on the beach somewhere.......
and having a wonderful time....

What a lovely story of your Mom and Dad. The photo frame is perfect for that photo of the two of them. How wonderful to have such a lovely memory and treasure to go with it.


Have a Blessed Easter.

Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life. Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.
