50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration Canceled Due to COVID - 19
As Butch and I were busy planning our wedding fifty years ago, we never took into consideration that the world would be suffering a pandemic of Coronavirus when it came time to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Who Knew? Right?
Our party on March 21st has been canceled. It has been fun in the planning – going through old pictures and old memories – putting together a slide show for your viewing enjoyment – never to be seen. Oh well !?!?!?
So instead of celebrating with all you on Saturday as planned, we will be sitting home on the couch watching nothing on TV and eating macaroni and cheese. Send happy celebratory thoughts our way and envision the fun we could be having together.

Meet Nancy and Gordon Fredrickson
Farm poets and American farm heritage authors Gordon and Nancy Fredrickson of Lonsdale, Minnesota join Kiddie Lit Market’s Diane Davies for this interview. To tell stories that preserve, promote and encourage agricultural literacy is the Fredrickson’s mission. Their stories for children are about farm kids told by farm kids. These same stories for adults are a nostalgic trip into yesterday. Listen and learn as Gordon recounts with us his life, his love and his and Nancy’s many books.
