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
show/hide quoted text
>>>of my sisters business, secondly, it's NOT the girls's responsibility to give
us a
show/hide quoted text
>>>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?
show/hide quoted text
>>>No, we do NOT want to go back to Wisconsin where we were married, so that's
OUT,
show/hide quoted text
>>>totally. East Tennessee, maybe?? Like Gatlinburg area? Anybody been there?
>>>Help,

>>>--
>>I can't make any suggestions but we invited a friend to dinner - a rather
special one.
show/hide quoted text
>>While we were still at the table another friend turned up. Then another. Then
another.
show/hide quoted text
>>We kept moving round the table to make more space, it was like the Mad
Hatter's tea
show/hide quoted text
>>party. There were eight of us to start with, us and our five children and the
original
show/hide quoted text
>>guest so it became a little crowded.
>>Then a shepherd friend turned up with his spinning wheel Spouse had recently
made one
show/hide quoted text
>>and they migrated to the sitting room to compare techniques, eventually some
of the
show/hide quoted text
>>others joined them. It was a memorable, peaceful and very happy evening which
everyone
show/hide quoted text
>>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
show/hide quoted text
>>enough weight to get into my wedding dress, which I'll spray gold. I'm well on
the way
show/hide quoted text
>>:-)
>>I suspect that youngest son, whose job is an event planner/designer, will
devise some
show/hide quoted text
>>surprise for us which will include all our children, their children and
perhaps even
show/hide quoted text
>>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
show/hide quoted text
>>hardly worth planning anything :-) So we'll wait and see - and in the meantime
enjoy
show/hide quoted text
>>every second to the full and not be diverted by anything which could get in
the way of
show/hide quoted text
>>happiness and love.
>>Enjoy your anniversary, whatever you do. In these days twenty five years of
marriage
show/hide quoted text
>>is an achievement.
>>Mary
>Mary Fisher. . .
>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
