What Don and Linda thought was a get-together with their friends, surprisingly turned into a celebration for them. With a delicious cake from Publix, and wedding pictures spread around the table it was obvious what we were celebrating.To celebrate 40 years, Don & Linda were joined by their two children, daughter-in-law, and their closest friends.
Stephanie had a great idea... the three of us kids met at her salon where one of her friends took a picture of us. She found a fabulous frame which matches Don & Linda's decor perfectly!Todd & I decided to print one of their wedding pictures and one of ours to put in a bi-fold frame. Its hard to believe there was nearly 40 years between the weddings of both Mr. & Mrs. Gable's.
I suppose, one thing Todd & I haven't truly experienced yet, is the division of the sexes. I guess its since most of our friends are newly-weds....Even early on, the women gathered around the table to look at wedding pictures while the guys had their own conversations.
I've heard it mentioned whenever Linda makes her fabulously, yummy chocolate sauce, but that evening, Sue made it come alive. Janice has mentioned that its so good she could drink it with a straw. The chocolate sauce is good on everything, and when we decided to try it on the cake, Sue brought out the straws.
The evening went off even better than I had hoped. Because of Sue's creative reasoning to get Don & Linda to their house and the help of their friends, the thought of wanting to celebrate a special event was turned into reality... and a very happy memory.
