Ginger and Tom welcomed me into at their home on snowy November morning. Their family surprised Ginger with the gift of photos for her 80th birthday. A thoughtful way to celebrate her 80 years of life and her and Tom's 65 + years of marriage! 

Spending the morning in their cozy Milwaukee home, while sipping coffee, I learned a few things about what it takes to make it to 80 years of life + 65 years of marriage. As you can see they are still full of laughter and love! They shared the importance of staying active, not taking life too serious and finding hobbies that make you happy and give you purpose. 

Sixty-five years ago Ginger and Tom met out dancing, they dated and married. Went onto have 4 beautiful children, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren! Needless to say, they have plenty to celebrate!

When I asked Ginger what she'd be doing on her birthday, she laughed and said, hopefully spending it alone. 

Well Ginger, I hope you did not spend your birthday alone, you are one loved mom, wife, grandma and friend.

Happy Birthday Ginger!
