My Dad's Anniversary Dinner

Last night was fun. It was my parents' 40 wedding anniversary and we took my Dad to Market Street Grill to celebrate. We arrived and there was a sign saying, "Dorius Family Downstairs." We had our own dining room overlooking the creek or river or whatever runs next to the restaurant. It was a very nice setting. They brought us appetizers and drinks while we stood around talking. Then Dawn gave my Dad his anniversary card with a message from my Mom inside. She had my Mom write it before she died and she didn't tell my Dad till last night. He loved it. It was nice to read something in my Mom's handwriting. After we were done eating we just sat and talked. My Dad told us stories of good and bad anniversaries with my Mom over the years. It was an extremely nice evening with our family. Happy anniversary Dad!

Set In Stone...

My Mom's headstone is up now. This is getting too real and I'm still not adjusted. But her headstone looks really nice and we picked a great spot for her. It's very peaceful. I think I'll be spending a lot of time up there from now on.







I miss you Kat Bean.
