In September of this year, I was working on getting my Family History started when realized it was 50 years since my former wife Susan and I began this family with this wedding. The time of year being in Fall caused us to select Fall Colors for our decorations.

Since the early days of my youth clear blue skies, bright yellow leaves, crisp cool air, family picnics and trips into the mountains to gather Fall colors, are some of those sensory experiences that cause memories to surge to the present. Through the years of raising our family we continued to enjoy these traditions and more. Now twenty-two years after our family experienced the trauma of their mother’s and my divorce, and eight years ago their mother’s passing, I felt to recognize and acknowledge the fifty years, which have passed.

This is how my children answered my postings. What a beautiful family we have. I see and recognize a mother’s bright smile in the sunshine and feel the warmth of the love we have and share for one-another. It is Golden!!!
