Today is our 47th anniversary. So hard to believe—it’s gone by pretty fast! But there’s no one I’d rather spend time with than my husband, and after all these years we’re still very compatible—though, different, for sure! The pandemic has really emphasized how important compatibility is; we’re spending WAY. MORE. TIME. TOGETHER! And, fortunately, enjoying it tremendously.
We didn’t expect to do anything special today, but a new restaurant with an outdoor patio opened up just a few weeks ago on Canandaigua Lake. Two sets of friends have already been there for dinner, and said it was wonderful, and every safety precaution has been observed.
It is, for sure, a beautiful setting, and it was a gorgeous warm evening. The food was good, and our waitress was charming. There were, however, some details about the occasion which were less than ideal so it’s unlikely we’ll make the drive to eat there again any time soon. Nonetheless, neither of us regretted the trip tonight, and it definitely was a setting for a celebration. Here’s an unobstructed view of Canandaigua Lake.
And our version of a selfie:
During one of the OCC Spring Card Camps, one of the techniques was Faux Dip Dye. I originally created this card for that class, and decided right then it would make a great anniversary card, given the sentiments. We’re not regular bike-riders, but we do enjoy it. When I pulled the card out a few weeks ago, I realized the stamping of the bike was not as accurate as it should have been, so this is a recreated version of the first card. I’m not as happy with the faux dipping, but the bike is much improved.
The bike and the sentiment (I love the font!) are both from an older Papertrey Ink set, “Pedal Pusher.” Here’s the inside sentiment, which was the deciding factor in making this our anniversary card:
Here’s hoping the next anniversary isn’t celebrated with masks on!
Happy anniversary! What a beautiful lake view to enjoy an outdoor meal too. We celebrate #47 in late August. (Sorta wish we didn’t live on opposite coasts) I like the card and remember the first one. Pedal Pusher was on my wishlist forever until Hero Arts came out with their cute little kit that you and I both purchased.
Happy Anniversary – congratulations. I agree that capability is key & I maintain that being good friends is a key element to a long & happy marriage. That is a beautiful card & I like the words of the sentiment as well as the script. Sorry that there were a few things that marred a pleasant evening/dinner out. We still have not returned to dining out. I know the restaurants are taking precautions, but I’ve heard that many of the diners are not.
Yes, happy anniversary and many congratulations on 47 years together. The card is unusual and lovely. Glad you found a nice way and place to celebrate, even if it wasn’t 100%.
Happy Anniversary wishes. Glad you are enjoying spending way more time together. It seems like your differences complement each other. Eugene has been working from home since Covid quarantine and we are spending more time than ever together. We take a morning walk everyday and it my favorite part of the day. Fortunately we are both enjoying the setup because there is no end in sight. Wishing you much happiness together in the years ahead.💕
Happy Anniversary! you did enjoy a lovely view … and yes, here’s to hoping ALL of us get back to celebrating without masks. at some point!
