Sounds strange saying out loud how many years and I have been married. It seems like we have always been married – and yet it seems like it was … almost… yesterday.
!st Anniversary, waaaaay back then – in Key Largo, FL. Two exhausted belated honeymooners:

As some of you know, I decided a year or two ago that we would be married ninety years — we would only be one hundred and fourteen years old. I informed Leon of my decision, lol, and he agreed to go along with my plan. Assigning an end date to our marriage was not brilliant… so, I now add, “with option to renew”! Grin.
So far, so good. Day one of year thirty-seven was a good one.
We heard from the RV/solar tech! He should finish his work on Panoply this weekend. He had a family crisis – of the worst kind, and we told him to forget about our RV and use that time with his family. He did – and almost a full month later, he is one day’s work away from finishing the installation of our five (four new) solar panels, four new batteries, a controller, an inverter, etc. He is doing a few other items for us as well. It has been so long, it honestly, felt like we didn’t own an RV.
This put us way behind schedule – but humanity comes first.
(Listen up Hurricanes, we are not going to be ready to ‘run’ for at least another month. Too much more work to be done – and Leon’s clients have to take priority over building the slide out sofa bed frames, finding a sink and making it fit, and so on … and on… and on.)
May our days be filled with sun bright heart
our evenings lit by contentment’s glow
our nights silent in peaceful sleep.




I like the idea of 90 years with an option to renew
Thanks, TC, sounded pretty good to me, too.
Wonderfully sweet post. Happy Anniversary! And here’s to at least sixty-four more.

Ah, thank you, Bone.
Happy Anniversary (belated) to you and the Saint! I hope you get Panoply ready to roll soon. I know you are looking forward to it. Any trip to Texas you take requires a pause in the DFW area!

With you finding all those cool places and drummers, I have more reasons to drag Leon to DFW area. Our dream route to WA includes your area, Shelly. Thanks, but I may ask you to tell us a story, grin.
