Today is our 55th wedding anniversary. We are keeping up a grand tradition of not celebrating on the date, and often of not even being together on the date. Why? We just always seem to have a ton of other things going on in August. Actually, that was true in 1968 as well. It's hard to imagine how we shoehorned a wedding into that summer. My mother thought we were out of our minds, and she was probably right.
Our one and only big anniversary celebration was for our 40th. Om had a heart attack the previous autumn and he wasn't sure he was going to see 50 years. Ha! We are apparently tough as nails.
Here's my favorite picture of us!
You think I'm kidding.
Here's one that's good for an even better laugh. This was a long time and a lot of lifetimes ago, but we've hung on.
This was last summer. Not a bad picture.
I spent a big chunk of the day on some volunteer stuff for the trail chapter. Om and I will do something later. Maybe. If we want to. It's not about the celebrations but the staying power.

It's not about the celebrations but the staying power. I like that.

Happy Anniversary!
Amen, to the staying power. Much love to you both.
Lulu: "Happy anniversary! Here's to many more!"
That sounds like the way Trana and I celebrate our anniversaries--by not celebrating them until we think of something we want to do later.
We also had our 55th this year.
