I have also been thinking of April 10
because it was the date when Lyle and I were married. Yes, it is our
anniversary! I remember that on the day of our wedding, the sun was shining and
the sky was a brilliant blue. Unlike this year when there is still an abundance
of the white stuff on the ground, that year there was only a small trace of
snow in the ditches.
April 10 is a special day for us and many stand
out in memory. Most of our anniversaries have been spent at home but there have
been others that we have celebrated away from home. We have been fortunate to
spend two different years in Australia and another in France. On some
anniversary days we were both still working and so chose to enjoy any
celebration on the weekend prior or post the actual date. On one particular
April 10, I was in hospital and Lyle brought me a dozen red roses for my nightstand.
Four years ago we chose to host a celebration dinner for friends and family and
invited a clever magician to provide the entertainment.
I must admit that in spite of the terrible happenings
outside our doors, I have enjoyed some quiet times remembering these past anniversaries.
I am including a picture of Lyle and myself with this post. It wasn’t taken on
an anniversary date but just this past month when we were in Australia. The
picture was taken in front of the Sydney Opera House. Usually this area is
crowded with throngs of people, but in the picture, there are very few people
and they are far away from us. The city was already practicing social distancing.
I think that Lyle and I will always remember this anniversary on April 10,
2020.
