35th Anniversary

 Tonight we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary!  Marinated pork loin, sweet potato fries and brussels sprouts all kept warm and we headed to the park to eat lakeside.  Calm waters, no wind, few people and even fewer bugs.  A perfect evening and even better sunset.




This all began when I asked Paul to my Senior Prom.  1985.

The dress was borrowed from a friend and had I known I would have worn a different bathing suit that left no tan lines!

I remembered this when I purchased my wedding dress and choose a strapless bathing suit to wear all summer.

                                        Our own "Titanic" moment.

                                                    Cozumel

So many moments in 35 years!  So many more to come our way!

This morning we said goodbye to Scott and Rebecca and resumed working in the yard.  Our lunch break came early when we disturbed a nest of hornets.  Then our stop for the day also came earlier than anticipated when the chipper ran out of gas and there was no more in the can.  Oh well.  Clearly a sign to enjoy our day.  So a soak in the jacuzzi, a movie and a nap.  Perfect.

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.

Isis' Bridal Shower

Image
 With just over two weeks until the wedding today we celebrated with the ladies!  A sunny, bit warm day that we filled with brunch and laughter.  Mad libs are way funnier as adults.  Bride and groom know it alls - we only thought we knew them well!  Plenty of advice for date nights and marriage itself, I think we all learned something new.                                                    Brianna and Layla - entertaining as always                                                                                Isis and Linda              ...
