35th Anniversary

In December of 1968 Al and I started dating. In January of 1973 we got married. Today is our 35th anniversary but we've actually been together for 40 years. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were really old.

Our celebration today was shared with my Dad. We went to Portland and saw the Oregon Symphony play an entire program of Nelson Riddle music. He was an arranger and conductor who worked with all the jazz greats so we heard some awesome music. My Dad had so much fun checking out the beautiful theater, talking with band members and taking in an excellent concert. He told us he's considering going back tomorrow night for an encore performance. We then took him to Portland City Grill for dinner. This is a gorgeous restaurant on the 30th floor of the US BankCorp Tower. Fantastic view of the city and yummy yummy food. We had a delightful time from start to finish.

Dad just called and said that he has snow on the ground at his house. Nothing in Keizer yet...bummer! We'll see what the morning brings.
