Hemlock Ring: Delivered!

Today I delivered the hemlock ring blanket to my grandparents, who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary! My babička, a former knitter, was very impressed with the blanket. My dedeček tried to put it around himself like a skirt. Always the comedian!



My mom hosted a party today honoring her parents and their 50 years together. I helped with some of the decorating by attaching old pictures to golden ballons. Here's my favorite picture. It was taken on May 1, 1959, about half way through their first year of marriage. My grandmother is pregnant with my mom. It looks like something out of a magazine! Anyway, as I was hanging these pictures and thinking about the fact that the mister and I just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary this August, I wondered what the next 49 years will bring for us... I can't wait to find out!

Wonderful and lovely. Happy anniversary to your grandparents! I have the ecowool to make one - just trying to decide which of a number of deserving recipients should get it.
