Gerald & Donna McIntosh. . . That's a GOOD suggestion!! Thank you! Noreen

I can't make any suggestions but we invited a friend to dinner - a rather special one.

While we were still at the table another friend turned up. Then another. Then another. We kept moving round the table to make more space, it was like the Mad Hatter's tea party. There were eight of us to start with, us and our five children and the original guest so it became a little crowded.

Then a shepherd friend turned up with his spinning wheel Spouse had recently made one and they migrated to the sitting room to compare techniques, eventually some of the others joined them. It was a memorable, peaceful and very happy evening which everyone who was there still talks about.

Sometimes the best events aren't planned. Spontaneity is good :-)

So the only thing I'm planning for our Golden anniversary in two years is to lose enough weight to get into my wedding dress, which I'll spray gold. I'm well on the way :-)

I suspect that youngest son, whose job is an event planner/designer, will devise some surprise for us which will include all our children, their children and perhaps even some great grandchildren by that time. They represent our past and the future.

But one has to live to achieve ambitions and since we both have cancer it's not certain. Even if we didn't we could have heart attacks, be run down by a bus ... it's hardly worth planning anything :-) So we'll wait and see - and in the meantime enjoy every second to the full and not be diverted by anything which could get in the way of happiness and love.

Enjoy your anniversary, whatever you do. In these days twenty five years of marriage is an achievement.

Thank you. That was NEAT, and your Golden plans are awesome, too. Yes, 25 nowadays IS an accomplishment, but your 50th is totally awe-inspiring! Noreen

PS!! I didn't know you and DH both had/have cancer! Sending healing vibes and good thoughts/wishes to you both!

Well, thanks, I hope it doesn't sound churlish to say that we're both in very good health. Although we're both N.E.D. at the moment you can never say you're cured of cancer until you die of something else. There are far more something elses than cancer :-)
