>>>Silver Wedding Anniversary is coming up quickly, and I'm open to suggestions
as to
>>>how to spend it, where to go, what to do, etc.
>>>My sister seems to think the kids should give us a party. First of all,
it's none
>>>of my sisters business, secondly, it's NOT the girls's responsibility to give
us a
>>>party, thirdly, we don't WANT a party at ALL, so....
>>>We've discussed renewing our vows, just the two of us, no guests at all, but
WHERE?
>>>No, we do NOT want to go back to Wisconsin where we were married, so that's
OUT,
>>>totally. East Tennessee, maybe?? Like Gatlinburg area? Anybody been there?
>>>Help,
>>>Noreen
>>>--
>>
>>I can't make any suggestions but we invited a friend to dinner - a rather
special one.
>>
>>While we were still at the table another friend turned up. Then another. Then
another.
>>We kept moving round the table to make more space, it was like the Mad
Hatter's tea
>>party. There were eight of us to start with, us and our five children and the
original
>>guest so it became a little crowded.
>>
>>Then a shepherd friend turned up with his spinning wheel Spouse had recently
made one
>>and they migrated to the sitting room to compare techniques, eventually some
of the
>>others joined them. It was a memorable, peaceful and very happy evening which
everyone
>>who was there still talks about.
>>
>>Sometimes the best events aren't planned. Spontaneity is good :-)
>>
>>So the only thing I'm planning for our Golden anniversary in two years is to
lose
>>enough weight to get into my wedding dress, which I'll spray gold. I'm well on
the way
>>:-)
>>
>>I suspect that youngest son, whose job is an event planner/designer, will
devise some
>>surprise for us which will include all our children, their children and
perhaps even
>>some great grandchildren by that time. They represent our past and the future.
>>
>>But one has to live to achieve ambitions and since we both have cancer it's not
>>certain. Even if we didn't we could have heart attacks, be run down by a bus
... it's
>>hardly worth planning anything :-) So we'll wait and see - and in the meantime
enjoy
>>every second to the full and not be diverted by anything which could get in
the way of
>>happiness and love.
>>
>>Enjoy your anniversary, whatever you do. In these days twenty five years of
marriage
>>is an achievement.
>>
>>Mary

>Thank you. That was NEAT, and your Golden plans are awesome, too.
>Yes, 25 nowadays IS an accomplishment, but your 50th is totally awe-inspiring!
>Noreen

good
thoughts/wishes to you both!
