Yesterday Frank and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. We did it quietly without a lot of fanfare. We took Alex bowling as usual for a Sunday. Early evening we went out to dinner in casual clothes at Strizzi's, a restaurant in downtown Livermore. Here we are in a selfie. See? We are keeping up with technology.
It was Franks's idea to bring along our wedding album and page through it as we waited for our meal. I was initially a bit embarrassed but it turned out to be a romantic and nostalgic thing to do. We ate outdoors in gently warm, balmy weather just as the sun was setting, with a couple glasses of Beringer White Zinfandel and it was... well it was just plain nice!
Forty years with the same guy... Would I do it again? I sure would!
Happy 40th anniversary!! What a wonderful thing to celebrate! And...not only did you "stick together" for 40 years, but, you actually still like each other! You are an inspiration to us, for sure. You've been married ten times longer than us, but we hope to someday be celebrating our 40th anniversary, too (ug...we will be much older than you guys are, though!). I really wish that we could have all celebrated this huge milestone together, but I'm so glad that you two had such a lovely dinner together out on your anniversary. We'll celebrate later this week when you are in SoCal, and, hopefully (fingers crossed) this Christmas if Robin and her family come out to Livermore to celebrate the holiday with all of us.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the wedding photo. I don't see a lot of Dan in Frank, but boy oh boy, Robin is the spitting image of you as a young bride!
One more thing...congrats, too, on completing the puzzle. I will never, in a million years, have the patience for that! I always wonder...now that you've finished the puzzle, what do you do with it?
