Jr and Nancy's 40th anniversity

Friday 5:30 am we left for AR. Glenn, Gary, Ritha, Larry and me. Stopping in Nashville to have lunch with Lenny and his family at McDonalds. Then off to Memphis where we met up with Mike and Norma and stayed the night.
The next morning we made our way to Alma AR to the Days Inn. Jr, Nancy, Latona, Paris, Holland, Melissa, Merissa and Ramie were there. Melissa, Steve (her husband who we call Bedix) Ritha, Norma, me and Merissa went to a place called from A to Z where they have everything from a to z. I only bought a hat when we decided we needed to get back for the pool party.
Nancy's family showed up around 6 and we had subs and pizza. Jr dunked me over and over again. He had no mercy. I tried to get up a gang to get him but he would dunk them too. For someone 62 he was strong.
Sunday the renewal of the vows was set at 2 but started around 2:30. I don't know what came over me but when I saw Nancy walking down the isle trying to hold back tears I broke down. Didn't see it coming, but I had to step back and collect myself. The service we very nice just like a wedding.
Later back at the pool. I told Nancy's sister Darlene that if she dumped the ice water on Jr I would pay her 5 dollars, then told her I didn't have the money but she did it anyway. Well he came after her with more water and the hotel manager came out and told us to quiet down. That was the end of the party..
We left at 6:30 am and drove all the way home. made it here around 1 something am.

Today we visited Old Salem. We enjoyed the visit. Took the tour of the buildings that were open. They have different buildings open on different days.
Found it very interesting. We were home by 7.
