~Mama and Daddy's 20th Anniversary Party~

Today is Daddy and Mama'a 20th. Anniversary! For months Callie, Abby, Margaret, and I planned a big dinner party for Mama and Daddy. We made homemade invitations, set the tables, made a big meal, desserts, and drinks! On Friday, we had the party, and Me, my sisters, and the Discher girls served the adults. (It was an adult party) We had alot of fun!

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.
Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
I Peter 3:1-4

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

I Peter 3:7

After 20 years!

(We seperated the men and the ladies because we didn't want the couples not seated at the "Guests of Honor's" table to feel less important!)

Peas, Pickles and Peach Jam!

We have been so blessed by the Lord with an abundance of food to store up! We harvested the last of our wonderful, home grown peaches and were able to make some peach jam. Our dear friends, the Pollocks, opened their fields to our family and we picked bunches and bunches of blackeyed peas, conk peas, and cucumbers. We shelled and froze the peas and Callie made some pickles with the cukes.

Mary looks so enthused about shelling

Yup -- that's lots a peas there, hmmm

OK - They got sidetracked

Ah, the sweet smell of summer!
