Forty-six years ago today hubby and I tied the knot -- and they said it wouldn't last! For $100 we bought the wedding package from the Elvis Chapel in Las Vegas. It included a chauffeur-driven limo to the courthouse to get our license, the cost of the license, the trip back to the Chapel, the chaplain, flowers, music, a witness, a cassette tape of the ceremony and pictures. I'd say it was a good investment, wouldn't you?
Another Milestone
As a joke over the past year, I invited people to my surprise birthday party. I knew it would never happen so I felt safe making a joke about it. As this new decade approached, people asked me what I was doing for my birthday. Neither my husband nor I have ever made a big deal about birthdays and I often forget them until I looked at the calendar. When my hubby asked me what I would like to do this year as it was a 'big' one, I asked him to cook dinner for me. He makes the best halibut cheeks and my mouth watered just thinking about them.
When my daughter said that she and the kids were coming for a visit on my birthday weekend I was ecstatic. That was the best present. They were here for four glorious days.
