Something New—Italy & Romance
Our 40th Wedding Anniversary Celebration idea of writing down 40 things either we used to do or things we’ve never done before is moving along. Last night we added something we’ve never done before. We took our two sons and their wives to the Gold Class Cinema. (We were sad our oldest son and his wife in San Diego couldn’t join us.)
Gold Class is a new theatre in town I used to dream about where you sit in luxury seats with your feet up and have people serve you delicious food....

Coffee and Tea, Guilty or ...
I thought it would be fun to blog about people’s emotions behind their morning coffee and tea drinking. Let me say up front, that I am a big advocate of caffeine. I learned a few years ago after studying it, that caffeine has an amazing effect on the human brain.
Paul Holmgren, retired cell biology professor from Northern Arizona University, reports that “caffeine improves neurotransmitter...

As we continue recording 40 things we’ve done over the years to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary, I just had to add our “Peach Trekking and Putting Up” traditions.
My first peach memory during our marriage was prechildren while on a camping trip with my husband’s brother and his wife in Alabama. We were so delighted to pick up a bushel of fresh peaches along the road on...

So when...

Reading Together Separatel...
My husband and I are both readers. That is a quality we both admired in each other when we first met. On our first date, we spent several hours talking about books we had read. We have quite a large library. We used to go on evening outings and spend hours at the local bookstore, each wandering around checking out the latest novels. Books have always been a weak spot in our budget.

Cheese Please...
Our Forty-Year List of things we’ve done or things we’ve never done together over our 40-year marriage is slowly growing. My husband has always wanted to make cheese, so today we made mozzarella cheese—together. My husband and all of our kids are research experts, so when we started buying raw milk, he researched cheese making and discovered the “Cheese Queen” Ricki Carroll...

Ruby Day...
Well, today is the big day! Our 40th Wedding Anniversary. On June 6, 1970 at 6:30 pm, my husband and I were married in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s been very interesting during our 40th celebration to hear about the news of Al and Tipper Gore getting a divorce, to hear journalists debating the “Forty Year Itch.” Through all these articles you can feel the sadness and unnerving feelings...
