Together again
Son 2 is back from Marseilles (the spiritual internship program). He leaves on Saturday. I have been unable to post as there were studies to prepare (still are) for a retreat and lessons to get ready for the weekend. Wife and I are both doing a race on Saturday. I will attempt the 20K of Lausanne, a huge event here in town, very hilly, quite tough. Wife will run 55 minutes earlier, tackling the 10K. She’s either run the 10 or 20K race every year we’ve been here, not counting “birthing” years.
Last night, Sons 1 and 2, Daughter and Wife and I all went to a restaurant in a nearby village and had a 5 or 6 course meal (I don’t know if you count the sorbet which “cleans your palette” as a course… Help me out here please) which was great fun. We were 3 hours around the table. It was a fun way for us to celebrate together 25 years of marriage.

My hat is off to you both!
That sounds like a wonderful family time, and food was involved, too!

Joyeux anniversaire!
A 6/7-course meal sounds great. A 20K run less so.

Sounds like Sunday lunch at our house. Whenever we invite guests over, Janice will prepare about 6x too much food, but she has a reputation of really feeding the people well. Kathleen and Doyle loved to come to our place for lunch for that reason. Congrats on 25 years together.

Congrats on the 25th and celebrating it with family. I too found the combination of a 6/7 course meal and an upcoming 20k interesting.
The last time we went out for a meal where our palettes where cleanse with sorbet, also served sweet ice tea in mason jars. Now that is what I call “fine-dining.”
