Back to Normal?

 

Roland and I celebrated our 42^nd wedding anniversary on Wednesday. Unlike last year, it felt almost normal.

One of our anniversary traditions is to go out to eat at a nice restaurant, and sometimes we get to celebrate in unique locations. We celebrated our fortieth anniversary at a specialty restaurant on the Viking Sea while cruising the Baltic. And the photo at the head of this blog shows us at a restaurant in Florence, Italy, for our 39^th anniversary. Roland found the restaurant and made the reservation before we left home, but the restaurant was practically empty so the reservation was unnecessary. According to the letter we wrote home, the food was good, although the steak was a little too rare for me. The sauce covered up the uncooked taste, however.

When we’re at home, we like to celebrate with a meal at Café Borgia. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible last year. We did eat their food, but we had to order carry-out and celebrate at home.

This year we went back to Café Borgia and ate in the dining room. It’s only the second time I’ve eaten out in months, and it felt good.

Does that mean things are getting back to normal?

I hope so.
