Our anniversary weekend started on Thursday, July 31, when my cousin Mike and his wife Debi arrived from Tulsa. We ate at Fitz's in the Loop, and drank lots of root beer! Friday brought more guests from out of town. We picked Judy F up at the airport at noon, and Nancy and John arrived from Kansas in the afternoon. We had a gathering to introduce all of the guests to our local chosen family members since most of them had never met. Rounding out the table were Karen and Gary from Edwardsville, Mike and Sandy from St. Louis, Doug and Matt, and our neighbor Barb.
In addition to general hilarity, music was part of the evening's entertainment. Matt played his own classical- style compositions, and Doug played a gospel medley of his own arranging. My 1922 Story and Clark upright that belonged to my mother has never sounded so good. More! More! Encore!
Someone with a camera caught me and Karen in conference in the kitchen. We are so fortunate to have these good friends and family here to help us celebrate.
