Welcoming a New Year

30.12.10

The new year is almost on us. I will make the same resolution that I have made other years. I promise to clean something, no matter how small, every day. I also must walk more than I do now, at the urging of my doctor.

Here is a little more on the 50th anniversary party that our three kids gave Hubby and me on Nov. 14 at the Fox and Hounds Restaurant in Quincy. After all the introductions were made, one of the waitresses invited us to go to the buffet. The food was terrific. Even those with food restrictions were able to find plenty to eat. There were fruits and veggies, in addition to the traditional eggs, bacon, sausages (which brother-in-law John thoroughly enjoyed), pancakes/French toast, syrup, muffins, and Danish. There was plenty of coffee, along with seconds on the food. Everyone was well filled.

After people had eaten, daughter Jeanne brought out a Question & Answer Game about our wedding. (There were very few attending the party who were old enough to remember it.) She asked her Dad to read the questions. When was the wedding? It was July 2, 1960. What happened to Margie’s shoe and who came to her aid? The heel of Maid-of-Honor Margie’s brand new shoes came off. Cousin Jimmy’s girl friend Grace wore the same size shoe and changed shoes with Margie. (We have a video of Grace running across Columbia Rd., with one shoe off/one shoe on, to ask a cobbler to fix the heel.) What were the colors of the maid-of-honor’s and the bridesmaids’ dresses? Margie wore yellow and Janet and Agnes wore blue. Those who answered the questions received small (really tiny) rewards for their correct answers. This was a very funny part of the morning, with lots of kidding and joking.
