Two weeks ago tomorrow we were in Orlando celebrating my Uncle Pat and Aunt Mary's 50th wedding anniversary. The celebration was from 11 am to 2 pm at the Dr Phillips House, Courtyard at Lake Lucerne which is in downtown Orlando.
Pat and Mary 50 years ago....
Pat and Mary today at the party.....
And here are their 4 wonderful children who planned this event. From left, Jennifer, Dana, Michael and Denise .
Here is Pat and Mary with my 2 aunts and his brother-in-law!
We were so happy to be able to attend and be a part of the celebration. The next morning their children hosted a brunch at their home for all of the out of town guests, which gave us another opportunity to visit with our family.
One of my favorite parts of our Orlando trip was seeing Pat and Mary, my two aunts (both from Mississippi) and lots of first cousins-many of them from Mississippi and Louisiana! The weather was wonderful in Orlando on Saturday-not too hot and beautiful fair skies-whch made for a picture perfect day!
Thanks for stopping by today. I usually link this post to Family Fotos on Friday Deborah at Pictures, Pots, and Pens, but I think she's still out of town.

Your aunt and uncle look so happy. I know just how they feel as Johnny and I celebrated our 50th this past July.
You have such a nice family.
Glad you had a nice time in Florida, Diane! We have beautiful weather at this time of year, so I'm glad you got that on your trip. It's actually a little chilly this morning, and I love it.
That's so neat that they celebrated their 50th and had so many loved ones there to celebrate with them.
Happy Friday!

Diane, I can't believe I didn't visit you yesterday. It was a very sad day for us. I had such a hard time with this post. I loved Cocoa so much. Christina picked your comment as the most meaningful one of all 31. Thank you for such a sweet comment.
Your post about your Uncle Pat and Aunt Mary is wonderful. She still is a beautiful woman. Seeing all of your family is a blessing to be sure. I know from personal experience how special that is Diane. Couple that with your trip to Disney is a WOW! vacation.
