For those of you who were unable to make the trip to Virginia to Celebrate Marge & Bud Hartkern’s Golden Wedding Anniversary Party, I have created this blog post.
The only favor I ask is that you
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW–
-anything at all that would be fun and festive so that I can share your comments with my parents. I hope this brings the celebration to you….
Many thanks to those of you who contributed your photos so that
I could make an accurate chronological re-enactment!
Cheers!

Hope they have many many more years of bliss!!!!

Take care, dear. Hope your birthday was a happy day for you.
God bless always.
