View Article  25th Anniversary Party and Pig Roast

Jane and Terry will celebrate their 25th Anniversary on July 7th.  All of their friends have been married about the same length of time so they decided to celebrate together and throw one big party.

Denise made up a clever sign stating how many days each of the couples have been married and a total for the group of "125 years, 1 month and 5 days of wedded bliss."

The couples from left are Dave and Denise, Jeff and Lori, Terry and Jane, Brenda and Gary, and Mary and Kevin.

The party was held at Jeff and Lori's in their hangar, a perfect party place.

They hired a band called The Hazbeenz who play classic rock and blues.  I thought they were great; they have opened for a number of bands at the annual Moondance Jam in Walker.

Violet wants a treat…  she looks over to where I keep her stash… then at me and keeps doing this until I either give in or ignore her long enough and she walks away.  But she doesn’t go quietly..    She gets angry and either bites on one of her stuffed animlas or the couch pillows and I just laugh at her.

By the way, this video was taken with my new iPhone 3Gs…  one of the many new features..
