Stories Collected While Living in France
Tenderly it begins the first signs of love.
Then with freshness, flattery and infatuation, (and a few thorns,) it continues.
As time goes on the petals open wide, and give way. The fragrance is intoxicating. Love know no bounds.
Photo: The roses that grow out my windowsill. Happy 51 years of full grown love Mom and Dad. Thank you for showing me what it is all about.
Happy Anniversary Corey’s Mom and Dad! Fifty-one years of tending to the garden of love…such a wonderful way to spend one’s life 🙂
what a precious way to remember your parents anniversary……here is to many more!
Just a word of encouragement for you…
Corey, do you realize what a gem you are? You are a wonderful teacher – you flesh out the secrets of finding beauty in the ev’ryday-ness of life. When I read your journal, my creative soul is enlivened, and the romantic in me is validated. Life in suburbia tends to be a bit stale for me. Your journal is a brief retreat in which God uses you to refresh me aesthetically, and, through you, He reminds me to grab some laughter while I make my way through my life. That is priceless stuff, Corey. Thank you for doing your “thang.”
Gorgeous, gorgeous photos! I love flowers in black and white.
So sweet! A year past golden, how wonderful. At my wedding this summer, I plan to “toss” my bouquet to the couple who has been married the longest, which will be my paternal grandparents, who recently celebrated something like 64 years. Amazing.
Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Amaro! Corey-those photos of your roses are exquisite, as is your writing.
Happy 51st Anniversary! Mr & Mrs Amaro…a toast to you both!!!
Gorgeous images. May I come and live on your windowsill?
Beautiful tribute to your folks.
Beautiful roses, beautiful words.
Great blog.
😉
Wonder how many tons of home-made cookies those 51 years needed…
“Joyeux anniversaire de mariage” to your parnts !
Corey, that was simply beautiful!
Wait!
51 years…
hmm..hmm..hmm
And you are just 50…
So ah..
You didn’t give them much chance to kick up their heels did you?
My parents had 7 years of bliss before we came along to pester them 🙂
Happy Aniversary!
Monsieur et Madame Amaro
Oh and THANKS for Corey!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Amaro xoxo

True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.
(Helen Steiner Rice)
A Rose is elegant and strong standing side by side especially when in full bloom!
Happy Anniversary!! Like Carol I would like to thank you for having Corey for all of us to enjoy! I know you must be such special people to have a girl like her!
Happy Anniversary, Corey’s Parents!!
What is your secret for staying together for so long?
Congratulations to your parents. We will have been married 46 years this coming December. When I look back it seems like such a long time but when I look at today it doesn’t seem long enough!

They are an inspiration in living with love and commitment.

Let’s all bloom. 51 years is indeed something to celebrate.
May they celebrate many, many years to come, with good health and continue to be a joy to those around them.
Hi Corey, Congratulations to your parents on 51 years of love. My in-laws will be celebrating their 71st anniversary in October.
AH love, Sharon
51 beautiful years!
I have to agree with Mystele. You are a wonderful teacher!
I have missed you!
Muah! Muah!
Wow! 51 years.
That’s wonderful and amazing!
Wishing many more happily married years to your parents!
I have heard it said…
Newlyweds become ‘oldyweds’, and ‘oldyweds’ are the reasons that families work…My parents were married 67 years!
Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Amaro…and thank you for the gift you gave each of us…your amazing daughter!
Like fresh perfume I smell it here in Georgia. Refreshing!!!
