8 Months Charley

MiMi and PaPa Metzgar's 50th Wedding Anniversary

MiMi and PaPa did not want a big party for their 5oth Anniversary. Instead, some of us gathered for a lunch at S & P's Oyster House in Mystic, CT on Sept 6, to mark this amazing day. Papa's sister (Aunt Dina) drove up with Cousin Jim to surprise the newlyweds.


Zora Charles was in fine spirits and was sad not to eat lobster along with MiMi and PaPa, who wore bibs in solidarity with the Z. They ate stuffed lobster on their 50th just as they had on their honeymoon on Cape Cod.




Z needed to get a better look at the scrapbook masterpiece that Aunt Laurel had compiled from all the cards, photos and memorabilia sent in from MiMi and PaPa's friends, so Z climbed on Kent's back, with the help of Aunt Laurel, her trusted sidekick. Z thinks this is a much better view than what she can see from her car seat under the table!

BUMPER CARS WITH THE BIG KIDS

Charley discovered that the
Woodstock Fair is
AWESOME. There, she
spent the last few hours of
summer with her cousins,
who jumped into loud
cars and drove them full
speed at each other.
