If I'm not scrapbooking I'm thinking about scrapbooking!

Dan & Leona, 50 years of marriage

My mother’s parents, Daniel and Leona, were married in 1939. This portrait was taken in 1989 to mark their 50th wedding anniversary. Isn’t it wonderful when we have special photos like this of the ones we love? I wish that my grandparents were around to ask them what 50 years of marriage is like, what it was like to be young newlyweds in 1939, and many more questions. Alas, I didn’t think about asking those types of questions when I was younger and they were alive.

My maternal grandparents had this portrait taken in 1989, the year of their golden anniversary.

This layout is based on a sketch I found at the Artful Delight blog. It’s their August layout challenge sketch.

Are you fortunate enough to have your grandparents around? If so, I would like to gently nudge you to ask questions about their lives now.

    This photo and layout reminds me of my grandparents. Coincidentally, both sets of my grandparents had kitchen wall paper reminiscent of the flower print paper you used. Thanks for sparking me to think of some very happy memories with them!

      Oh, that’s cool, Katie. You know, I can still remember the rose wallpaper in my Nana and Papa’s upstairs guest room. I stared at it for many hours over the years when we spent nights at their house. You just don’t see a lot of wallpaper anymore, do you, but it really can spark memories of the people who chose it. 🙂
