Fourth of July, Ed and Judy’s Fiftieth

We didn’t get much rain at all, and we completed all of our planned activities.

Picked up some nice used planters at Mahoney’s and on-sale impatiens to decorate the trellises.

Peter was in good humor at the hospital and has a spectacular room. We were glad to see him; showing our age, we chatted about food prices and medical problems…

Stopped off at Market Basket for watermelon for the party and a few things for us. Picked up a 50th anniversary card and a Mass. Gold lottery ticket for Ed and Judy.

Cathy was telling us about her niece’s early August wedding, and the price of weddings these days. She’s seen one or two doozies at her club.

I wish we’d had a real wedding, or even just a party, but I invested in buying this house instead. We were hoping for a MacInnis reunion this year, but Ron’s family is so scattered, no one quite got it together.
