Bill and I celebrated 47 years of marriage yesterday by going out to dinner at MickDuffs Restaurant.
Usually we see the couple above at Sweet Lou's during Friday-night dinner, or I see Connie at Columbia Bank, where we first met.
Connie helped me out after I lost my debit card while attending a ZAGS basketball game in the Kennel.
The mention of ZAGS instantly kindled a friendship that has gone on for several years.
It would be a toss-up to see which couple, the Rosco's or the Love's could win a ZAGS fan award.
We know there are plenty more like us out there, but our ZAG-related fan tales could go on for hours.
Turns out Tim and Connie will be celebrating their 47th anniversary next month.
BUT last night, they thought they needed to add the final touch to our dinner out: dessert!
So, Bill and I were happy to oblige with that generous bowl of ice cream topped with huckleberries.
Thank you so much, Connie and Tim!
Our dining experience was enhanced by meeting in-person two young ladies we have watched on the basketball court at Sandpoint High School.
Bella and Brooklyn, who both played outstanding basketball for Willie's girls team, work at MickDuff's, both at the front desk and bussing tables around the restaurant which was once Sandpoint's post office.
Though we saw a few people we knew, it was truly amazing to see the place packed with mostly unfamiliar faces on a Tuesday night. Sandpoint has definitely changed.
Besides our wonderful dining experience, I'm feeling pleased this morning that many of my weed-infested garden and flower areas have received a clean-up.
The rain we received overnight and off and on throughout the day soften the soil enough to make weeding actually kinda fun.
That doesn't mean they're all gone. Weeds have a way of regenerating faster than we can blink an eye. If only the veggies and flowers could do the same.
Still, some areas look a lot better than they did.
Finally, I'm celebrating this morning, knowing that CB is coming along very nicely with Mary's training.
She sent me some videos yesterday showing him at all three gaits and holding himself well. Mary has added spurs to his "energizer" package and CB seems to be responding accordingly.
All's things are bright and beautiful this morning, and it looks like a lovely day ahead with a little more lawn mowing on the agenda.
Happy Wednesday.

Bella and Brooklyn, neat young ladies. |
