Happy Anniversary Broughtons'


We have been blessed to meet and become friends with the Broughtons', a family from Alberta.  On the full time RV, and winter Texan, circuit we meet people from time to time who are traveling, or spending time, with a brother or sister.  In the Broughtons’ case there are three of them, two brothers and a sister, all spending their winters together here at Tropic Star.  All three of them are here with their spouses, and each of the couples has been together for 50 or more years.
Bernie and I enjoy their company so very much and this post is devoted to wishing them a Happy Anniversary.
Once a year Tropic Star has a dinner and a re commitment service for those that are celebrating their 50th anniversary.  Some people wait a year or two, or more, to participate.  Pat and her husband Peter, waited a couple of years so that the three couples were able to celebrate it together.  Last night Ken and Doreen invited us, as their guests, to come to the anniversary dinner.  Today, Sunday, in the afternoon the six of them will participate in the re commitment service.
Janet Ashcroft, the activity director, here at Tropic Star, her husband Jack, and a number of volunteers created a five star dinner for us.  The food was great, the company was fantastic and the evening was first class.
 
Happy Anniversary Ken, Doreen, Robert, Helen, Pat and Peter
