Bill and I had been doing things around the yard and decided we were hungry and would like a hamburger. Being the caring people we are, we went in and asked M.L. if she and the kids wanted to go along to get a burger. She said no. So off we went.
A few hours later when we got back she wanted to know what had taken so long. That was when things took a bad turn. I explained that the closest McDonalds was in Wausau and it took time to go that far. Her answer to that was if she had known [the whole plan], she and the kids would have gone along.
[ I now cross my fingers and place my hand behind my back ]. The fact that we were going to McDonalds was not left out on purpose so you wouldn't want to go along....no matter what you thought and sugggested at the time.
2009 brings Bill & Mary Lou Hamlin's 50th wedding anniversary. The kids will be hosting a party in Kansas in June and another in Wisconsin in July--you'll hear more about the parties later. Right now we are collecting stories and pictures from friends and family to put into a gift scrapbook for their anniversary gift from all of us. If you have a picture or story, send it to kim.hamlin@hotmail.com and we'll get it posted or post it yourself as a comment.
