Today was a very special day for us as we celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary. We've had all sorts of weather changes, rain, wind rough seas and this evening with cooling breezes, calm seas and sunshine ending a wonderful day. I guess it was much like our life has been thus far. It all started some 47 years ago in Berwyn, Ill at St Odillo;s Church when I said "I DO". Oh wait, I think I meant to say "Yes Dear". Just kidding. This has been a wonderful partnership in life.
It's been a wonderful journey with Roseann at my side. Together we have shared some incredible times and events, too numerous to list. Today we get to share this day with our friends Virgil & Jo. Virgil & I went fishing for a while (or is it fed the fish) and Roseann & Jo played Mah Jongg.
We all went for dinner to No Name Pub on Big Pine Key. It was built in 1935, has wonderful food and their walls & ceiling is covered with one dollar bills. You can check them out at www.nonamepub.com. We opted for a spinach lobster dip w chips, garlic bread w marinara sauce and then a Royal Pub Pizza. This 14" pizza was enough for the 4 of us and was really really good. We finished it off with Key Lime pie, of course. It was a great night of fun & laughs for all. Then it was time to go home for entertainment. I'll leave that part of the story to your own imagination. Suffice it to say that we laughed and enjoyed ourselves immensely.
We are looking forward to many more years together. So far we are blessed with great health both body & mind. We pray that it continues that way as we travel together on our journey of life that began this day 47 years ago when two teenagers promised each other their hearts and had dreams that seemed crazy then but are being lived out today. Thank you!
