Reading through Aunt Lillian's old diaries and have found some things I want to share with you.  I especially liked this:  April 13, 1999 "our 58th wedding anniversary.  The weather was just like this A.M. Easter Sunday.  Margaret and Ang Fusi dressed me in Margaret's wedding gown at Angie's house.  It was a gorgeous gown.  Handmade lace princess style coat over heavy white satin.  The lace was made by women in Italy who did that at their homes and very few women left to do it now.  That lace would be worth a fortune now.  Margaret loaned it to Betty Randall for her wedding and we never knew what happened to it.  It would never go out of style.

Margaret & Gene were our attendants. The church was so beautifully decorated for Easter.  The priest gave us a special blessing that as we were blessed with all the beautiful flowers in church without cost, we would enjoy such blessings in our life and we did.  We sure needed those blessing.  Me in my borrowed gown and only the clothes I left the " blessed Beacon View" with on my back.

Then a poem:
You got to go to that lonesome valley,
You gotta go there by yourself.
Ain't no one can go there with you,
You gotta go they by yourself.
I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

And a joke:  2 men sitting in diner having coffee.  Ed noticed something funny about Joe's ear.
He said, "Joe, did you know you have a suppository in your left ear?"

'"I have?" replied Joe.  "A suppository?" and he pulled it out and looked t it hard and said, "Jeez Ed, I'm glad you saw this thing! Now I know where my hearing aid is!"
