A Golden Anniversary

On Monday, July 21, all my immediate family met in Warrenton, VA to stay in a vacation rental for a week long celebration of our parent's 50th wedding anniversary.  Every member of the James and Peggy Gangwer clan were in attendance.  There was -- in chronological order -- of course my parents from VT (2), us - the CT Gangwers (4), Robin's family - the NC Mitchells (5), Rachelle's family - the VT Beauchemins (6), Randi's family - the IN Raffas (6), and Rick's family - the NY Gangwers (5) for a grand total of 28 in the clan.

We spent the week eating, playing, swimming, laughing, cleaning, picture taking, talking, reminiscing, staying up late, and listening to devotionals.  In my book, there is no better way of celebrating 50 years of a couples marriage than seeing and spending time with it's most important legacy - the family it produced.
