Take a Word - Album

This is a photo of my parents during their courting days.   My mother's name was Madaleen, but my father teased her and called her Maggie, so the song reminds me of them.   They had over 50 years together, and were treasured by all of us lucky enough to be privileged to learn from their example of hard work, honesty, integrity, loyalty to family, and respect for God's world and those in it.    Thanks for the theme this week, Marie, and the opportunity to share them!
