50 Years Later...A Party!

This is to Certify that
Robert N. Johnson and Lottie L. Jensen
of Omaha and of Omaha
were by me united in
Marriage
on the 15th day of April
in the Year of our Lord 1939
at Council Bluff Iowa
R.R. Hildebrand, Minister

Marie C. Jensen
Albert M. Harris

And 50 years later, this arrived in the mail (beware of confetti)


In typical fashion, there were lists for food...
Because we wouldn't want to run out of food...
Or not have a list...
Or not have an assignment...
I thought everyone received printed invitations to Christmas with food assignments. Nope. Just our family.



After the lists came the party!

OK, first came the gift...
It was big...


And what happens after the hard work of swing delivery?  CAKE!

50 Years...5 Children (one for each decade, but they were born closer together than that...)
RJC, Jacque Johnson Burkhalter, Mark Johnson, Jill Johnson Mattingly, Minne Johnson Isley
Lottie Jensen Johnson, Robert Johnson

Elk...A Matter of Perspective

What I remember about the "Tacoma Lodge No. 174" was the swimming pool. And the fancy schmancy dining hall where we got to choose anything we wanted...including dessert.

On the flip side, my paternal grandpa, Stan Burkhalter Sr., hunted elk. He once drove into our driveway with a six-point buck strapped to the front hood.

I was very confused as a kid.
