One year ago today, Jilda and I were sitting on the bench pictured below. It was our 45th anniversary. As we sat the listening to the eternal whispering surf, we decided where we would for our 46th anniversary.
Last year was a toss-up between Savannah, Georgia, and Taos, New Mexico. We'd just bought Jilda a Subaru Outback, and somehow we couldn't bring ourselves to leaving it home. So we drove to the east coast. It was beautiful.
We were looking forward to spending this anniversary out west. As it turns out, that didn't happen.
Tonight, I called in a takeout order to our local Mexican restaurant. It has a drive-through. After all, it is Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday. It would have been almost sacrilege to have anything else.
We're not going to articulate plans for next year. We're going to enjoy life and make the best of the cards that we' are dealt.
I hope it's been a good Cinco de Mayo for you too.

A very Happy Anniversary to you both.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Hey when you can’t go to the festivities you bring the festivities to you
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteDrink some margaritas and eat some flan. Dance, too. Happy 46th!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. Ours is coming up on the 17th and we are also doing take out. Going to splurge and have crab cakes and lobster tails.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY Anniversary. Also I love planning. I got carried away yesterday trying to get tin on the roof that I didn't notice it was Cinco de Mayo until last night. I do enjoy some Mexican food!

Happy Anniversary! Pretty sure Taos will still be there next year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! They say the best way to live is one day at a time and right now I'd have to agree. Many plans had to be cancelled this year, but at least we all still have each other, and that's what is important !
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! There is never a day that wouldn't be better with tacos...
ReplyDeleteWe had a Cinco de Mayo carry in at work. I ended up leaving early because my back went out (had to go to my favorite Chiropractor) so I didn't have any of the Mexican yummies that were brought in. Happy Anniversary and I do hope next year will find you having a nice adventure someplace!
ReplyDeleteAll the best wishes from me
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
