Not to compete with Carol who just put up her latest post but today is a very special day. 55 years ago on a Sunday, Father’s Day, the first day of summer we were married. Some would say: How can you go about your usual day on such an important anniversary? I am headed off to lunch with my Monroe High Class of 1960 reunion committee leaving Carol to do her thing until 3:15 when we will head out to get in line for the line to get in to hear Jake Shimabukuro for the third time. The answer is we live as if every day is special as indeed they have been for 55 years.
We celebrate in so many ways. Last night we had a magnificent dinner at a new restaurant, Native Eatery and Bar. We will burn way to much energy for 9 nights of Jazz Fest, tonight, after Jake, we will make our way to Eastman Theater for Steve Gadd Band and I expect we will end up at the jam Session at the Hyatt. Things will calm down after Jazz Fest with visitors from California, the Muellers, and then two nights in the Berkshires with the Londons from RI. The biggest, grandest celebration will be in December when we will travel with the entire family to Morocco.
But first the jazz Fest! Still not sure what we will do between 6:30 and 8:00, There are many good performances we could sample if we can get in. Certainly after Gadd we could try to get in to Max for Sasha Berliner Quintet or Scott Sharard in the Big Tent. Watch for my post tomorrow with a report and the plan for tomorrow night.
I love your summary: “How can you go about your usual day on such an important anniversary? … The answer is we live as if every day is special as indeed they have been for 55 years. ” What a model marriage & friendship you have♡.
I agree with Miriam- you both have been such a model of love and kindness towards each other. It has and continues to be a joy to be around you both!!
Congrats on your 55th anniversary, a wonderful milestone for you both! You both are living a wonderful full life! We are currently hosting Alex & Barb Spiros in our RV site here in Bend, Oregon, and will be joining Norm & Patrice Sundholm for their BBQ soon. Best Wishes to all Jojobians! Ted & Lark Keener
A very special anniversary and we hope you enjoy, we have followed your journey for a few years and find it very interesting, we met you briefly and enjoyed going to a bird sanctuary with you in Texas you most likely do not remember that but we found it very special, we will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary April next, funny but when I first met you I thought “what an Arshole” but I admit I got that wrong, we very much enjoyed your company, happy trails to you
