We went to California to celebrate my grandparents anniversary. Max and Maurine Smart were married June 18, 1934. Grandmother was 16 and Grandfather was 22. Do the math- Gma is now 91 and Gpa 97. They still together in the house they built in the 1950's. They continue to have pretty good health. Gpa waters the gardens and naps and Gma makes his meals and still runs a Shaklee vitamin business. She always loves to give us vitamins. We figure the next party will be to celebrate Gpa's 100th birthday. We are not too close with this side of the family as we only see them every few years. Everyone is so spread out. It has been fun to keep more in contact with cousins through facebook.
I took family group pictures with each of the Smart boys. My dad by far has the largest family.
My Uncle Jerry lives in Atlanta, Uncle Richard lives on some property off the coast in California, Uncle Ron lives in Provo Utah and my dad is in Boise. Uncle Bob passed away a few years back and Preston- (Uncle Doug) was not at the celebration. My dad is the 5th of the 6 boys. It's crazy how all these boys look so different yet alike.
The whole gang almost half of which belong to my dad Cliff. Caleb said to me, "mom, do you know what what weird about the anniversary party? I would look at everyone and wonder how we are related." So cute.
