Elaine and I celebrated our 64th Wedding Anniversary today by going to the Olive Garden in Lincoln for lunch. It is one of our most favorite places to eat. We didn't do any shopping in Lincoln but bought some more Petunias and a few groceries at Super Saver in Fallbrook on the way home. We just walked in the house when Tim called and Carolyn stopped by a short time later. Jon sent an email this morning and we had talked with Verlon over the weekend. I got in my hour and a half of yard work late in the afternoon by trimming hedge, planting the Petunias in a couple baskets and elsewhere, applying some compost, along with some clean up work. After my many years of travel on the date of our anniversary and even having to go to a City Council meeting last year on this date, it was a real pleasure to spend the day without outside commitment. By the time you get up into the big numbers, it's very appropriate to celebrate as we did today. At the time of our 25th Anniversary, Elaine accompanied me and we flew out to Portland, OR from Washington, D.C. We rented a car and drove out to an SCS meeting at Bowman Springs. It was near Timberline Lodge where we drove through 25'snow drifts. Elaine's suitcase finally arrived as we got back to Portland. Before we went home, we had spent a day at the World Expo, the SCS State Office, Forest Service Regional Office, and visited with many old friends. We will never forget the 25th Anniversary Celebration that Jim Tatum "orchestrated" for us.
