60th Wedding Anniversary for Ed and Gearldine Rhodes

 What can I say and yet be brief about this wonderful couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. 

I instantly wanted to get to know them better at our first meeting. Our conversation began with talking about cameras, cookbooks, and their being volunteer firemen. I have since ordered at least 10 cookbooks as gifts and one for myself in my small way of supporting their fire department. 

 From there we discussed and learned more about our larger than average sized family history.  Yes, we might be related three ways: McAdams, VanMeter, and Buck. What a joy that is!

Through them I came to know and grow the love of my family, my precious extended McAdams family. Joy!

Their love legacy lives on through each of their children, grandchildren, and even their great grandchildren. They have a service legacy as well through the multi-generational volunteer fire department. That's dedication. 

We may be cousins through marriage but they are so much more to me. She's more of a sister to me as well. I love her smile and the way she laughs and her wise counsel to me. I love the way that Ed looks at her which says that he loves her in every sideways glance that he makes. Every wife wants that same look.  

Yes I love both of them so much and count them as blessings to my life. Their love and devoted marriage example has been sprinkled onto each of us. How blessed are we to have them share their life with us and their love for us.

 Okay, enough said (for now). You two are loved and have many beloved followers. Thank you for leading by example. Happy loved filled 60th wedding anniversary to a much favored couple.
