The picture below is from our first anniversary in 1967. Look how dressed up we were! We went out to eat at a restaurant on Panama City Beach and picked up some little knick knacks so we would always remember the day. I have no idea where they are now, but I still remember the day. After dinner we stopped by my aunt's house and picked up my grandmother to come home with us.

| The hands on the Bible was a pose suggested by Bubba's mother. |
I
don't remember much about this anniversary except that I got flowers!
 |
| Big hair, big glasses and big sideburns! |
I vividly remember our 20th Anniversary. Amy made signs to mark the occasion and wrote several love poems in keeping with the anniversary theme.
 |
| Smaller hair, big glasses and big sideburns! |
Anniversary #25 included a trip to the Smokies and then a spontaneous trip across Tennessee to Graceland. We used to rent cars for vacations. This time Bubba rented a big Lincoln that we picked up at the Tallahassee Airport. It was so big that Amy stretched out across the back seat and slept through the trip across the state.

| Still got big hair and big glasses! |
For Anniversary 40 we rented a cabin in the Smokies and went there via Amy and Darryl's where we left Archie (our dog). Amy had a little wedding cake for us. While sitting on the porch of the cabin and drinking coffee at sunrise, Bubba surprised me with a pair of diamond earrings. So romantic!

| Smaller hair, smaller glasses and no sideburns! |
 |
| And we went to Dollywood for the first time! |
And of course, the big 50th Anniversary was celebrated with our family on a trip to Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons.
 |
| Raft trip on the Snake River! |
AND
We went on a second trip to commemorate the actual anniversary on August 4 to the Smoky Mountains.

| "Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be!" |
