FRIDAY NIGHT FUN!

LOVE AND UNITY = FAB FAMILY, GOOD FOOD, A HEALING BOO-BOO & an unrevealed surprise!

A place filled with many fun memories of laughter and yummy food!

An old pic from back in the day!

Still not open in April 5, 2026. Glad we kept trying!

Jarrett House employees tried to find help for my "boo-boo" from their first aid kit but they accepted my rolled up sock of ice without criticism.

Grandboys rocking w/ Grandmother as their mom, who is a real photographer, took the pic! 

Love and respect are a part of married life, regardless of the number of years. (Ephesians 5:33)

RESULT---a good time was had by all 6 of us from age 8 to almost 80!

MARRIED BLISS!

When a couple has been married for 57 years, there's definitely advantages! 

Often one can finish a sentence for the other. 

These days I totally depend on hubby to answer questions that have left my memory bank. But.....we share most of the same memories. This past week I could not remember the name of a radio program we once listened to as we traveled.

Earlier, my Word A Day calendar gave us a jump start on finally coming up with the program's name. 

Woebegone, an English word for "affected with woe." Spelled differently but the pronunciation took us to the "location" of the program, Lake Woebegon.

Each weekly show ended with a "fun" quote!

"Where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average". 

An unusual shared experience but one we both finally remembered when we had 2 heads working on the same answer.

"GOLDEN BUCKET LIST"

Yesterday ended week 2 of our 50^th Anniversary. Our 50^th anniversary will be August 9.2019…. but I decided to begin celebrating on August 10, because to me, that was the 1^st day of our 50 years as a married couple.  So,  I started a gold/50 theme to carry our each week prior to our 50^th. Many of these “unique to us gifts” are still whirring around in my head but the overriding idea is one of fun, mystery and refreshment to both of us as we age together.

The first week, I delivered a golden bowl of scrolled prayers on gold paper tied with golden ribbon. The inspiration was Revelation 5:8, where John describes the golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. This reference refers to collective prayers of all God’s people which are a sweet aroma that is pleasing to Him. My prayers for the first week were prayers for hubby with my request to be the wife God would have me be, respecting and loving hubby as a way of honoring him and in turn honoring the Lord. (Ephesians 5:33)

Look closely to see bowl in right corner of picture with a prayer scroll.

Week 2, the golden bowl was set aside to make room for prepping our golden dinner, which we shared with our neighbors on the patio. They were in on the surprise to see if hubby recognized  the color theme of our “”golden” dinner.

The "golden kabobs were the side for our scallops dipped in "golden butter" along with the grilled golden peaches. 

The evening ended with an “almost-full moon” which appeared “golden” to our naked eye but hard to catch on our cell phone.

Will keep you posted through out the year as we add to our weekly "golden bucket list" journey to our “golden anniversary” next year!
