Anniversary Lunch

Generations Inn was the venue of choice for our anniversary lunch. It's an repurposed building, possibly an old farmhouse, in a nice setting by the river.

The lilacs were out; I took this picture before lunch. I like how the trees provide a frame for the  lilac bush.

I like the photo but wish that I had lowered the camera just a tad to get a little more separating
between the branch and the bush. This is what happens with quick walk-by photography.
I don't take the time to notice the little details.

Later, as we were leaving, I snapped this one of the dead tree fringed by the lilac bush n the background.

Inside. we dined in the screened verandah, except they had glass over the screens because it's still early in the season. My hot wife was not amused, but it was overcast out, and I was pretty comfortable once I got settled: except for my awful chair, that is. (Sue's pic of me turned out better than mine of her.)

The server (remember when they were called waitresses or waiters?) obliged us with this photo.

After lunch we wandered down to the river, but as you can see, it was not a glorious day: overcast, much like our wedding day 55 years past. 

I think this is one of our better selfies.

Anniversary fudge being another tradition, we didn't have dessert at the restaurant but stopped for the fudge goody on the way home. Last night, the day after all of the above, we relented and ordered the usual anniversary pizza too, and it was very good.

And that's a wrap for anniversary 55. Aren't you glad that it's over?

BTW: some of you have been wondering about our long weekend when the American one is next week. It's a different holiday here: Victoria Day (in celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday, May 24 1819), and not Memorial Day. It occurs on the last Monday before May 25, For these reasons, we often refer to as May 24th holiday, even though Monday very seldom lands on the 24th.
