Now our marriage can legally drink.
For some reason when I just THINK about that statement it sounds like it would be a funny thing to say out loud. But when I do say it out loud it doesn’t seem to work like I think it should. Hmmm…
Anyway, yes, it’s true. Melinda and I got married 21 years ago today, almost to the minute, in fact (I’m writing just before 4pm and the judge made the marriage official at about 4:30pm). How about that!
I took today’s picture a couple of weeks ago, having seen the artwork on the outside of a building in Seattle. I dedicate it to ma chérie, Melinda. 🙂 Later tonight we’ll be heading out for a “prix fixe” New Year’s Eve dinner at Carmelita, a popular vegetarian restaurant in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood, not too far from our house. As nice as it is, there is no way it can match last year’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
Say, consider this a heads up. Tomorrow I’ll be changing the theme and renaming this blog, perhaps even slightly changing how I use it. It’s all part of the relaunch of Melinda’s and my Kind Living project. Stay tuned!

Congratulations to you and Melinda! I am writing this on the First day of the New Year which is the day Tommy and I got married, some 47 years ago! I have already been served breakfast in bed here at 9 am! Last night my neighbors from Texas called and wished us a happy new year about 8 minutes before midnight, not remembering that we were an hour later. And then my granddaughter who is 12 and I watched fireworks out the window here in Salt Lake. New Year’s day is always one of the most special days of the year for me!
And congratulations to you and Tommy! It sounds like you had a great New Year’s Eve and are well on your way to having a great anniversary. Enjoy it!
