Mom and Dad

Thanks to my sister for posting on her blog and reminding me that it was Mom and Dad's anniversary today. I remembered to call her this evening to wish them a happy day. Sounds like Dad is gonna make them some beer butt chicken. You'd think I'd remember that they have been together 39 years considering I will be turning 39 next spring, Ugh! One year closer to the big 40. Yes, Jules, that means you will soon be 30. Ha! I would love to go back to 30, I didn't mind turning 30 at all. Maybe I will say that about 40 when I turn 50, and 50 when I turn 60. :) My good friend Ruthie, who just turned 70, reminded me that it isn't so bad, cause you know more when you get older and you can sit back and just watch people and just know stuff. Does that make sense?

I have the news on as I type this and am amazed. A couple weeks ago when we went on our last trip for the season, we went through a little town called Balltown, where there was a big line of people waiting to enter a restaurant there. A couple nights after that we learned that this place was kind of famous in that the previous building had burned down and had just recently opened after being rebuilt. They also said how good the food was there and I have heard some other people since then talk about how good it was. So, just yesterday, I was telling my good friend Tracy and her husband that we should think about going there to eat some night. Well, she emails me this morning and says the place burned down again!! Can you believe it? Sure enough, I have the news on and that is what they said. Guess someone doesn't want them to be in business. One of the ladies I was talking about said they had just been there on Tuesday of this week and there was a long line to eat there then. It must have been good, too bad we may have to wait to get to try it out, if we get to at all.

Well, Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad. I love you.

I tried to add a picture from their wedding day, but I can't seem to figure out how to transfer it from my scanner program to my post.
