I am, as always, loving you endlessly. 10/30/2014

It was one of those Christmas Seasons a few years ago when the Knight of my life gathered a few of his favorite toys and transported them to the

studio of a very patient photographer. This man I married fifty seven years ago today and blessed my life and the lives of our children and grandchildren so extraordinarily was a weaver of dreams and a maker of magic. He liked keeping the child in us alive and his passion for toy collecting could well have been born that day, as a teenaged boy, he watched one fall day as the old family home went up in flames...claiming many of the cherished and antique belongings as well the toys of three children's childhoods.

Our three children, adding much joy to our pleasure in collecting, inherited our fondness for vintage and antique toys and dolls and now happily share them. Some will be shared in a very special way during this Christmas Season. It is from memories such as this that we draw delight and thanksgiving for our lives together.

Happy Anniversary, my southern gentleman Knight with the happy heart. 

You were a " Man for all Seasons" but you held Christmas always so very close to your heart.
I am, as always, loving you endlessly.

Our family wishes you all the most blessed and merriest of Christmas Seasons. May love be the gift of your lifetime.
