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.

Mary Bleckwehl’s website opens with this statement: “Inspiring children one word at a time.” She talks about how her teaching and writing SPARKS creativity in her students of all ages. You will witness this spark in Mary’s interview with Kiddie Lit Market’s Diane Davies. She talks about growing up on a large Iowa farm with her large family – each with their own chores to keep the farm running. Mary describes her writing career, her children’s books, and her advice on becoming an author. She published her first book in 2011 and as they say, “the rest is history!” As a writer and educator, Mary’s love of life and her career are infectious, fun and inspiring!
