Aside from a near pedestrian car accident involving Mel and Julie, the 65th wedding anniversary celebration was an exceedingly pleasant occasion. The young people sat at one end, as the "kid table" apparently isn't passe. The old people all got doggie bags, which were meticulously identified and dated by DrTom.
Anne crashed the party without notice and the mean sister(s) welcomed her nonetheless. The guy pictured below showed up already sauced from an afternoon drinking binge. He was also very quiet at dinner - being polite enough not to speak when his mouth was full (i.e. most of the evening). No offense UJ, but you could have at least worn a collared shirt.
The young'uns discussed a "cousins trip" for next year and the youngest'un of all, Sarah put forth a motion to exclude the old people from the trip. Of course she didn't say that outright, but rather suggested the trip be made "cousins only".
On side note, they demolished the house next to Nana & Grandpa's.
They are going to put a pre-fab modular right where the old house was.
