Bruce was doing genealogy this morning when he came across a picture of a woman getting married. She wore a plan white dress without a veil. The person walking her down the aisle was wearing bibbed overalls. The church was a clapboard building. This picture was of decedents of ours taken in the 40's.
Bruce’s dad bought a tiny home with no indoor plumbing when he was starting out and my parents bought a house that had no indoor bathroom. They all worked hard and made vast improvements to their homes.
Bruce and I struggled financially while we raised all 5 of our children - bought clothes at K-mart (or were home made), ate lots of hot dogs and sloppy joes, didn’t go on many vacations, drove junk cars, rented houses - whatever it took. Now we look around at our beautiful home. We have everything we ever wanted materially. We eat good meals, drive nice vehicles and have gone on some pretty nice vacations.
With a lot of hard work and sacrifices, we have met our goals. We want to thank all who have supported us. We feel blessed by God and those who love us.
