Thank you Hive account@trudeehunter, for investing your time, in our "conversation." I do not take it for granted.

50th wedding anniversary - what a wonderful milestone to reach! Sounds like lifetime memory plans are being made for later, so I can imagine what that post will be like! 🙂 So very sad our "new normal" world requires you to put it off, but it seems like you are handling it with a very gracious attitude.

If our "number of days" extend that far (we enjoy good health, at this point), we have talked about holding our 50th anniversary here:

Dogwood Canyon is a wonderful destination outside of Branson, Missouri, for enjoying all of the rich diversity of life found in the famous Ozarks region of America. While neither of us grew up around there, both of our fathers have deep connections to it and our (exactly once ...) only visit there was so memorable, we have thought to do it again ...

Very nice to read your perspective on music. We certainly share that in common. Much like artistic ability, I make no claim to any musical talent either. My mother, however, raised us in a home where classical music was played all of the time. That and worship music, so music is very important to us.

As an Australian, Trudee, you may enjoy this post I wrote awhile back for the Christian Fellowship community "in here." We find the music of this remarkable group to be very uplifting. They are (as much as I can discern) truly worshipping vs. simply performing. I believe we are all blessed who experience what our Lord has done through their creative gifts.

God bless and keep you and your family! ✝ 🙏 👋
