55

Today is the wedding anniversary that it says on the mug and in the title. It was the May long weekend then, just as it is this year, except the 17th was on a Saturday in 1969.

She was sitting in the sunlight cast by the big window opposite her.

I don't usually think about my photography and blogging in advance, but I pretty well planned this anniversary photo and card back in March. That was when we drove down to Prospect and had breakfast in the Recess Cafe. You might recall that I posted about the excursion here at the time, and you saw the basic photo then.

The words, You are my sunshine, are from a neon sign that hung in the cafe, and I had the thought, back then, of compositing the sign onto a photo of Sue (also taken that day) for this anniversary card.

Those words fit Sue pretty well. They always have and always will.

Today, we'll have a low key lunch at a restaurant in town, or actually just outside of town. That is  doing it up big for us compared to our usual treat of pizza, which of course hearkens back to our wedding night in Stratford. Doesn't everybody order pizza on that night? We won't, however, purchase gifts. It's garden time, so we will consider whatever plants, that we buy next week, to be our gifts to each other.
