What we Wore ....

.... to the very beautiful wedding. We
were all instructed to wear black as
the bride and groom would all be in
white. I don't typically wear black so
it was a bit of a challenge to find a dress
as I didn't already have one, as every
women typically does. But after weeks

of searching and fussing, I think we did

match the look we hoped to achieve. I did

not want a tight fitting dress as the heat

in L.V. is too much for me. So a bit of

a flowy dress was just perfect. Nailed it!

I love dh's look, with a new black shirt,

a vest to match and his hat. We had many

compliments through the evening and

felt comfortable. Such a fun wedding!

Have you had to wear black to a wedding?

Our 30th Wedding Anniversary Gift!

Hi everyone!

Well, we made it to 30 Years of Wedded Bliss! There are times where we've wondered how we'd survive but here we are, healthy, whole and happy. You may have guessed by now that our gift to each other is the new house. Not a fancy new car, or a diamond bracelet, or a tropical holiday. Yup, a house! Not very romantic, especially for this special occasion. But it's ours and it's finally a real dream come true. 

We had a quiet day, a scrumptious dinner in and then we ventured out to the country to see the newest progress on the house today. Here's what we found:

The turret is done!

It proved to be a challenge for our crew.

But they figured out all the angles.

So many nooks and crannies!

The roof over the covered deck is started.

And the beginnings of the front veranda too!

Detail on the exterior doors for the garage.

So much fun to see what's happening. Not sure why there is a rope hanging from the veranda frame. We'll have to ask our builder when we see him this week. I love our meetings. He keeps us in the loop and has the patience of a saint while we ask so many questions. And he has a great sense of humor!

Do you like our anniversary picture! Not professional but a true moment in our life today. The stickers we're sporting? Our daughters brought home a lovely anniversary cake with a card that held these stickers that we had to wear all night. They say "I'm the Boss around here" on mine and on dh's" "I'm the Boss, when she's not around!" Yup, they know us well. 

How was your day today?
