Our Anniversary

Today is our 49th Wedding Anniversary. I have heard from all my kids and an extra special dinner was created for me by Laton. I love my hubby! Seems like yesterday when we married. 

This says it all...

And together we built a life we loved!

Anniversary

Laton and I were married the day before my paternal grandparent’s anniversary. They married on Easter Sunday, during the depression. The year we were married was the first time their anniversary fell on Easter Sunday again. It was a special day. I spent my last night as a single woman with my grandparents. Mostly because my bedroom had been passed down to my little sister when I left for college, and the parents bought a dishwasher the week I left for college, but that is another story. 

I remember my marital advice from Nana! “Never let the sun go down on your anger!” And “Never say no to your husband regarding sex”, then she adds the information, “After all, Grandpa and I still DO IT!” EWWWW-LA LA LA LA! Nana shared the details of her wedding outfit. It was pants, peach colored with a salmon cummerbund. So avant- guard for the times.  

When were married, gas lines had just started, I remember thinking what are we doing, how will survive, adulting is soooooo hard! Then I think about Nana during the depression and a World War, raising kids, having dreams,  and now I think of my children, raising kids, dealing with a pandemic, and having dreams. A cycle of life! 

Happy Anniversary Nana & Gramps. I’m glad you are together in heaven. 

Anniversary Camping Trip

April 15 is our 40th Wedding Anniversary! On our first anniversary, we bought a camp stove as our gift to each other and went camping. This year we honored that tradition and went camping in Arizona, on the Mogollon Rim. While living in AZ, we have camped on the Rim, with a great group of friends for many years. This year, their first camping trip fell on our anniversary weekend. We took our sleeping bags, camp stove, cooler, camping chairs and the dogs in the Jeep Grand Cherokee and took a camping trip to the Rim! We got there Friday afternoon. It was a fun time around the camp fire with our friends and, eventually, our 3 kids and grandson made it up for the evening. Then it started to snow about 2 AM. This is what we woke up to!

Our 39th Anniversary

April 15, 1972 Laton & Carrie Hammond

We had dinner at the Cher-Ae Heights Casino in Trinidad. The bread pudding with rum sauce was a great meal topper. We played a few slots and came home $17 richer. WOW! I know, I know! Fantastic win!

Check out this young couple. It was a wonderful and happy day for us!

Happy Anniversary

We celebrated 38 years of marriage on today.
