Today we have finally left for Alaska. I do not say "finally" because we haven't had fun. In fact my parents 60th wedding anniversary was great fun. The immediate family stayed together at an old log house on the grounds of a retreat center in West Bend Wisconsin where the party was held. We took a few pictures of my Mom and Dad opening their gift from Linda, Kim and I. It was a scrapbook that Naomi put together. That is right we the children gave a gift and enlisted a granddaughter to make it. This demonstrates the (choose one) intelligence or the laziness of the baby boomer generation. Anyway Naomi did a wonderful job of taking our memories and pictures and making it look great. This demonstrates the (choose one) creativity or gullibility of the gen xers. Happily Mom and Dad loved the book and we all enjoyed telling funny stories from our past together. Only Paul, who is currently in Americorps is missing from the picture of my family.
