Happy Anniversary!

Today is Ed and Julie's 13th anniversary. Geni tells us that this is their "Lace" anniversary. Hmmm, I wonder what kind of lace Ed would appreciate 8-) Congratulations and many happy returns.

It's also the day we celebrated their anniversary with Bruce and Mary Sue. They've been married a bit longer--45 years! Their actual anniversary is Thursday, November 28. That's Thanksgiving Day this year, and it was Thanksgiving Day in 1968 when they were wed. Bruce said that they were older when they got married, so they had time to experience life as singles, both the opportunities and the loneliness. When they found each other, Bruce was 26 and Mary Sue 28, and their relationship "Felt like home." Ruthi sang "It Feels Like Home" for them.

Ruthi put on a great dance for the happy couple and their many friends. She's a wonderful entertainer with a lovely, interesting voice, and she mixed up the dance tunes so that there were some easy line dances and some slow numbers (good for even "non-dancers" Ruthi said). We took advantage of those. During the two steps and waltzes and such, we just sat back and watched the dancers. Bruce loves to dance and has so much energy that he's out on the dance floor for every dance. He and Mary Sue had the first dance, and she wore a diaphanous white veil. We hope they have many more good years.

Today is also Debbie (Hurzeler) Frith's birthday. She was born in 1977, so she is 36 today. Julie was also born in 1977, so she'll be celebrating her 36th birthday on Saturday. It's a busy week for birthdays. Tomorrow is Bill Jameson's birthday, and it would have been my mom's 87th birthday.

This morning we went and walked indoors at Walmart. It's still too cold to be inviting outside. We picked up a fresh turkey at HEB to roast for Thanksgiving.
