'Twas a fine gathering on the shores of Lake Erie to celebrate my parents' fiftieth anniversary and to help them move a block away to a somewhat smaller abode. It has been a couple years since we have all been together in the same place at the same time, so the festive atmosphere prevailed. I'll let the pictures tell the story.
Hanging pictures in the new living room...then hanging them again...and yet again...yes, the same ones. 
Finding my great grandfather's beaver top hat circa ~1880 and my grandfather's bowler hat circa ~1910.
Toasting my parents with home made, home grown currant and raspberry liqueur.
Everyone laughing at photos in the memory album.

Such wonderful pictures! Such a momentous occasion! So many treasures unearthed.
Can't wait to meet and love these people!
Thank goodness your blog is here to document our wonderful celebration week in October! Great pictures, Mamela!
My favorite (if I had to pick one) would be the laughing couch picture. Our couch never looked so good! Honorable mention goes to the picture hanging event! Leland wants to do it again, doesn't he?!
What happy scenes. Thank you for giving us a peek into what was clearly a joyous week of celebration and family. The beautiful celebrated couple, I can tell by your pictures, enjoyed every minute of their 50th wedding event. Who wouldn't, when surrounded by a beloved extraordinary family. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures, they do speak volumns.
Your parents are so "tres chic".
Hi! I do my slide shows through Picasa which is the program I use to store all my photos. After I've created a slideshow, it gives me the option of "embedding" the HTML code. I copy that and then paste it into my blog post in the HTML tab on the posting page. Hope that helps . . . you can find various other slideshow applications on line. Good luck! I loved all the pictures.
Um... thanks for posting my picture on the net. Not really something I wanted
