50th Wedding Anniversary Ideas

A month from now, my parents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary at the beach. I am going to have a cake made to resemble their wedding cake and use their bride and groom cake topper on it. To signify this special time at the beach, we’ll use gold seashells on the cake, which were not on their first. When they look back at photos of the cake, the seashells will remind them how they spent their anniversary. I would love to have some other ideas for keepsakes and gifts for them and for the guests that will be attending the weekend get-away. Does anyone have any ideas for fun games to play? Or any presentation ideas? We want to make this a very special time and load it up with lots of memories and mementos to cherish for years to come. If you hosted a 50th anniversary party for your parents or know of any great ideas for doing so, pass them along, please!

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
