Banjo Man and I have been married 48 years as of today.

Amazing.  Where did the years go?  I don’t feel old enough to be married 48 years!!

We celebrated by sitting on the screened porch this afternoon, eating apple pie and enjoying the sunshine and the view of the lake.  Tonight we’re going out to dinner, which will be a much needed break from cleaning and packing and putting away all the summer things.

It’s always painful to leave the lake, but I have the Funny Grandson waiting for me in Texas.  He sent me a letter telling me he was “very excided” about my visit.

I’m pretty excided myself.  I could use a hug and some conversations about Legos and birds of prey.  And then there is his “erley birthday party”, which he is also very excided about.

It was a good letter.  And makes leaving the lake just a little bit easier.

Happy Anniversary, Banjo Man.  You’ve kept me laughing for almost fifty years.
