The parents' 60th anniversary party and a visit to Morakami

I got home late last night, catching all my connections.
The dinner party at Benvenuto's was excellent. Great food, lots of wine, dancing and socializing, mostly with my cousins. Lots of friends of my parents--I knew the ones they've been close to for many years, but there were many who live in their retirement community who I don't know. I took lots of photos but they're on a private area (trust me--the world at large won't be interested).
However, I also took lots of photos at the gorgeous Japanese gardens in Delray Beach. My sister and I went there on Saturday while my parents relaxed and De (my brother in law) worked.

Glad to be home in the cool weather. Missed the flurries of Monday and would really like some real snow (but not when I travel to Maine in a few weeks!).

Hmm. So that means your parents were married a couple of decades before you were born, right?

;)

Oh yeah :-) My mom got married at 20...the photos of her and my dad while they were dating, during their wedding and on their honeymoon are wonderful. They were pretty gorgeous--both of them.
