Getting Personal ~ anniversary edition

Twenty-nine years ago ... this picture was taken at our wedding reception. We held it outdoors at Rattlesnake Springs, Texas ... the water source for Carlsbad Caverns National Park. [That's me with my still shaking hand on my son's shoulder. His step-mom holds her bridal bouquet to my left.]

Well danged if I didn't get so distracted with new puppy anticipation ...


Our "child" will be 7 weeks old next week. We will be offially adopting her on July 20th.

... that I neglected to pick up a Trader Joe's anniversary card for my sweetie. Glad I had the foresight to book a romantic dinner table at Volare Italian ristorante on Frankfort Avenue in Louisville for our special night ... think it's been 29 years.

Martha remains my dream lover.

It is a good sign you can still remember the dates.
Hope your special dinner out is fabulous!

We're going on a short local trip this week. More on that adventure soon.

That adorable pup might make me forget to buy a card, too!
Now you know why I married on July 4th. A week ago. I will always remember it.
Prost!

A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit. Allegedly Greek, but more possibly fairly modern quote.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
