Anniversary Musings

Twenty-eight years ago, yesterday, Judy and I were married in the Sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church of South Bend, Indiana.  A photo that is displayed in our home, shows the two of us during the recessional.  The church was packed, as you can sense from the photo.  We had invited the entire congregation as well as our family and friends.  They all came, for which we were glad.  The receiving line thereafter took nearly two hours...

Often, the Senior High Mission Trip falls at the same time as our anniversary.  This means that in many years, Judy and I are not in the same state, let alone in the same place, when the day arrives.  This year, the trip is setting out a week later, so we had the joy of spending the day together.

We decided to have a nice relaxing anniversary day, yesterday.  I thought it was very pleasant to see the cards we gave each other, side by side, since they look as if we had picked them to go together.  This is the kind of thing that happens to us a lot.  I guess great minds think alike...

Our day took us to Mount Dora, where we had a quiet lunch, window shopped, and even found one or two things to bring home with us.  Some of the pottery we saw in one window is shown above.  As many of you know, I have been collecting old American Art Pottery since the early 1990s.  We found lots of interesting things, along that line, but none of them came home with us.

We also did not bring home the other "find' you see below... 

On the way home we stopped for produce in Zellwood, including sweet corn.  That is for our Memorial Day meal.
