48 years together

Wednesday marked the anniversary of one of the greatest blessings in my life: 48 years ago we were married in Muncie, IN. We got up very late and I made pancakes for myself (no one else was interested in any), and we ate together: my pancakes and Evelyn’s Grape Nuts. We then spent time doing some cleaning. I vacuumed the floors and then I read the newspaper, the chapter we will discuss at the men’s breakfast Saturday and went over my presentation to be given at the Open Door Friday. This took some time. I also, after more than 8 attempts, downloaded the new AVG free edition 8.0 for virus protection. We both got hungry during the time between breakfast and supper so I had the rest of the melted cheese dip, and Evelyn had half a sandwich. I have only one Negra Modelo left to drink before we leave tomorrow. The 15 yearly weds had bought 6 for me, and I have enjoyed them. We took Beethoven for a walk and then returned to get the grandkids to go to Pizza Hut for our anniversary dinner. We are upscale! We made our way to the Pizza Hut with a young friend of Olivia’s but had some trouble between the kids. It continued into the restaurant but settled down with time and encouragement. We went to Kroger to get some dog food, and I bought Evelyn some roses and other flowers for our anniversary. We were home well before dark and watched “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”. It was difficult to follow, but Peter explained the second movie, “Dead Man’s Chest” to us, helping a little.
