Happy Anniversary Regina and Tom!!!

Today is my daughter's wedding anniversary to a great man in her life by the name of Thomas! The years fly bye, and swiftly our lives change in so many directions!! Who would of even thought I would once be a grandma one day to baby toots!! SOOO Regina and Tom, today I send my anniversary wishes to you both, for not only today but many, many, many more .... have a very Happy Anniversary!!

They were married in Cold Spring, N.Y., a sleepy little town located on the Hudson River.

The bride ........





The church is called Chapel of Our Lady of RestorationThe Chapel of Our Lady Restoration is on the beautiful Hudson River Valley. The Chapel is an architectural gem in the Greek Revival style, dramatically situated on a rock bluff overlooking the Hudson River. It was designed in 1833 and, when consecrated in 1834 as The Church of Our Lady of Cold Spring, was the first Roman Catholic Church in the New York Archdiocese north of 14th Street, Manhattan. In 1970, a group of concerned citizens organized and raised funds to purchase and restore the ruin. Their work accomplished, the building was re-dedicated on September 18, 1977 as a Chapel for people of all faiths. Today, the Chapel is not affiliated with any church or religious organization. It is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors which is pleased to offer it as an ecumenical setting for weddings and other significant events. The restored structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Congratulations, not sure how many it's been now, but have made it further than a lot of couples do any more, and it's hard work on both. So enjoy life, and hug the little guy. Always count your blessings even on the ruff days. :) Hi Mar, am missing ya. Gona have to call some evening and catch up. If that's ok.
