Number 46

One year ago today, Jilda and I were sitting on the bench pictured below. It was our 45th anniversary. As we sat the listening to the eternal whispering surf, we decided where we would for our 46th anniversary.

Last year was a toss-up between Savannah, Georgia, and Taos, New Mexico. We'd just bought Jilda a Subaru Outback, and somehow we couldn't bring ourselves to leaving it home. So we drove to the east coast. It was beautiful.

We were looking forward to spending this anniversary out west. As it turns out, that didn't happen.

Tonight, I called in a takeout order to our local Mexican restaurant. It has a drive-through. After all, it is Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday. It would have been almost sacrilege to have anything else.

We're not going to articulate plans for next year. We're going to enjoy life and make the best of the cards that we' are dealt.

I hope it's been a good Cinco de Mayo for you too.

  6. HAPPY Anniversary. Also I love planning. I got carried away yesterday trying to get tin on the roof that I didn't notice it was Cinco de Mayo until last night. I do enjoy some Mexican food!

  9. Happy Anniversary! They say the best way to live is one day at a time and right now I'd have to agree. Many plans had to be cancelled this year, but at least we all still have each other, and that's what is important !

  11. We had a Cinco de Mayo carry in at work. I ended up leaving early because my back went out (had to go to my favorite Chiropractor) so I didn't have any of the Mexican yummies that were brought in. Happy Anniversary and I do hope next year will find you having a nice adventure someplace!
