Day One Hundred Ninety Four 2013

At Last

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

I’ve Got My Mind Set On You

My niece Evan married her long-time sweetheart Shaun this afternoon. They had a beautiful and simply sweet outdoor ceremony under blue sky and puffy white clouds with family and friends cheering them on. They’ve loved each other for a long time. They’re a good match. Wishing them a happily ever after.

Day One Hundred Thirty Nine 2013

40



All we know is that the time went by fast, one day at a time, and here we are, 40 years! later, grayer, fatter, with lots of wrinkles, two awesome daughters and sons in law and three lovable grandkids, but still basically the same people we were on that rainy day when we said “I do.” And we did. And we still do. If I had to do it all over again, I would. Happy 40th anniversary to my better half, who wore to church this morning the same bow tie he wore to our wedding all those days ago. He said it was the only part of his suit that still fit him. God has blessed us richly, and I’m certain will continue to do so in the days to come.

To keep the fire burning brightly there's one easy rule:  Keep the two logs together, near enough to keep each other warm and far enough apart - about a finger's breadth - for breathing room.  Good fire, good marriage, same rule.
