Happy 28th Anniversary, Baby!



Yes, I kissed my Bride at sunrise on the boardwalk in Vero Beach this morning. We went over to start the celebration of our 28th Wedding Anniversary, by watching the beauty God provides for us with a sunrise. Such a sense of peace, hope and majesty all rolled up in one. After basking in the glory of God's sunrise gift for us, we had a little breakfast at a place to remain anonymous for fear of multitudes of folks trying to track our movements. lol

We then came home and lounged for a bit before heading out for nearly five hours in the pool. Skies were a brilliant blue with fluffy white clouds, and the occasional high altitude jet leaving its con trail. We had others in the pool for a while, then they all left and it was just the two of us. I really like it that way.

As I type this, the most beautiful woman in the world is getting ready for our dinner date (again at a location not to be disclosed), and I am simply marveling at how blessed I am to be married to Peggy Ruth Dixon Blount. She is without a doubt the most beautiful woman (physically, spiritually, and emotionally) I have ever met. My love for her is far deeper than it was 28 years ago when I was forgetting the words to the Kenny Rogers song, "Lady" as she walked down the aisle at our wedding ceremony.

Happy Anniversary, Peggy. May my life say more adequately what mere words seem to fail to convey when I tell you that I love you!
