Thanks to all!

BTW: I used to like two or three olives, but recently I really like pickled okra slices that we keep at home for this. When out (because they don't have pickled okra.) I have decided, that a twist of lemon does it! I like the taste of that Bombay Sapphire gin!

Oh! My motto on age is "You're only as old as you feel."

Oops! Our 10th is 1 July. If you're already planning I'm somewhere under the power curve. Peregrino

WOW!

37 years? That's longer than a Life Sentence in most states! In fact, up here you would have gotten "Time off for good behavior" at 25 years.

Sincerely, my best Congratulations to you and Mrs. Tripwire. That is both a cause for celebration and an accomplishment.

To night, we had dinner at Stanley & Seaforts in Tacoma. We started out with cocktails and we shared a dozen oysters as an appitizer. I had a Martini with Bombay Sapphire gin, straight up with a twist of lemon, my wife, had a Manhattan. We both had salads, mine was a garden salad with blue cheese dressing with shrimp. She had the same with another dressing.

For our main course, we both had Grilled Copper River Salmon, with a potato pancake. This salmon melts in your mouth! We had a bottle of Korbel Champagne with dinner.

For Dessert, I had a Banana Sundae, with fresh strawberries, carmel and both vanilla ice cream and ginger ice cream along with coconut. (Two spoons.)

We both had after dinner drinks and coffee. I had a Metoxa (Greek) brandy in a sniffer. She had a "Brandy Milk shake," of some kind.

We left this restrauant and on the way home stopped at the Cliff House Restrauant (Tacoma) and watched the sunset, from the windows facing Commencement Bay, Tacoma. Of course, we had a couple of B&B's in sniffers with ice water back-ups while doing this.

We returned home feeling Great! I only hope we can do as good for our 38th!
TW,

By now you should have celebrated your 40th.......I hope all is well....We just celebrated our 49th and trying to figure out where to go on for 50th...Any thoughts?
