Welcome to Grandmother's House located in Owens Cross Roads, AL and I must say it is neatly tucked away and a hidden treasure. I was invited to shoot a "50th Wedding Anniversary" for a lovely couple here at this location recently. This house was built in 1928 and the brochure states: "We opened Grandmother's House because we wanted to serve others by providing a relaxing, memorable experience that encourages customers to slow down; an atmosphere that says, "Relax and Stay Awhile". ..." It was truly a beautiful afternoon and I can't tell you when I have enjoyed spending time with a family, and watching the laughter and conversation of others more. Thank you again Kauffmans for allowing me to be a part of such a special day for your family... :) ...
Allow me to introduce to you the young married couple who celebrated their "Golden Anniversary" on this Beautiful Saturday afternoon! ... Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kauffman... I met Mr. Bill and Mrs. Linda for the very first time when I arrived at Grandmother's House. The arrangements had been made by their oldest son and daughter-in-love, who I have recently had the pleasure of getting to know around the ballfield. (They are also neighbors of one of my very best friends, Marietta!) ...
It seemed obvious that this couple shared something unique, and for me, a "stranger" to this family I could see that. I would like to say "Thank You" to them. They are leaving their children and their grandchildren a Legacy of Love, honoring 50 Years of Marriage ... When they said their "Vows" and made their "Commitments" 50 Years ago, they took those seriously, before God and the other witnesses that were there. Thank you two for the example. Too many times in today's society the "world" says "quit", but our marriages are worth fighting for!... what a blessing... what a heritage... :) ...
Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

There were over 30 guests in attendance for their celebration. Friends and Family were from several states including Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Ohio... and it was such a treat to meet and spend time with each one of you! :) ...
Mr. Bill and Mrs. Linda you two are a treasure! ... Thank you again for letting me be a part of your Special Celebration! Happy Golden Anniversary you two! and Prayerful Blessings as you continue your journey on many, many more!
Capturing Golden Memories and Stopping Moments in Time,
