41 Years and Green/Purple Part 4

Today is our 41st Anniversary.  We are going out to dinner tonight, but here we are at the reception at the church hall.  Funny how I still remember these people :).

It's always a little wierd when our anniversary falls on Memorial Day.  It's such a special holiday for us to remember.

Here is the latest (and last) step in this little quilt.  Picking a fabric for the outside border.  I added a small green flange.  It's getting close.

Happy Memorial Day to all,

Karen

Dinner at the Beach

I've been busy and can't believe June is more than halfway done already!  My DH and I finally celebrated our 40th with dinner on Pensacola Beach with friends.  Jimmy Buffet opened a new hotel 2 years ago and we haven't been so that's where I picked - Margaritaville :).

 

This really is where we have lived for the past 40 years.  It is a beautiful place.

As our anniversary fell over Memorial Day weekend, I knew I didn't want to be anywhere near the beach.  When we went Saturday, it was perfect.

The hotel is pretty and not too crowded.

After dinner we went down on the beach for cake.  As you can see from the waves (and the hair), it was pretty windy.  But it felt good.

We are blessed to have such sweet friends and of course my sister and her hubby.

As you can see, the sun had set and it got dark fast.  We asked a young couple walking the beach to take a group shot. Turns out, they were on their honeymoon and had only been married 2 days.  We told them the people in this picture combined have been married 162 years!!  We wished them good luck - they were from Oklahoma.

I'll have quilty things to show soon.

Have a great day,

Karen
