Plus 5

After celebrating 50 years of wedded ups-and-downs, it becomes more difficult for the family to find something surprising, or somewhat-new, to feature.  This blog would have been this static series of snapshots.  But the beauty of our digital world is in recording the simpler, more forgettable moments. And so, as anniversary greeting, and to mark five more years after the milestone, here's an update to the Singkwenta blog with images from their post Golden Wedding anniversary trip.

You know it's love when she had Elvis on her bucket list, and he takes her to Graceland.

They didn't have, as part of their to-do list, "eat crepes in the cold outdoors" but New York city makes one do things.  Besides, when Papa says, "Sige ba!" Mama say, "Okey!"

They've received our dress-up with Baby Jesus Christmas card every year.  They've upped the stakes and joined us, attired as Joseph and Mary with their angelic granddaughters.

First day showing?  Now that's a new experience.  They do have very persistent grandchildren.

Christmas Mass at night? Not-so-new experience.  But singing (and with matching Filipiniana attires!) granddaughters?  That's new, and made them proud.

Yes, Christmas away from (a warm) home was a first.  They prefer to have it as the only time away from home.  But the granddaughters...yes, I played that ace plenty of times!

55 was a good run.  Praying and hoping to give you more, with the next "plus 5" update.
