The Dead Sea Scrolls Exhibit

The Husband really wanted to see The Dead Sea Scrolls at the Reagan Library (thrilled to see something older than us 😊). They have a very versatile exhibition space that garners impressive museum-quality presentations from around the world. In years past, we would drive to Simi (it’s about 1 ½ hours north of us) and stay overnight for a relaxing couple of days. But now, our cat Patchwork’s diabetes prohibits overnight jaunts. So, we made a quick day of it, taking the scenic route through downtown LA by mistake – LOL!

Going to a Republican Presidential Library gave me pause but I never heard any mention of The President Who Shall Not Be Named, so that was good. And, I admit, I wore as much blue as I could, including my nail color!

Anniversary 42

~ GrayMareWrites ~ 3 Comments

Since the pandemic put the kibosh on travel, our anniversaries have been extremely low key.  In the Before Time, we at least took a weekend away and the five-year anniversaries were usually a little more special-the train from Williams, AZ to the Grand Canyon, a night at East Brother Light in San Rafael Bay.  We’d been planning our dream trip to Paris and Normandy for our 40th in 2020.  You know that ended up a non-starter…

Keeping it low key again this year, we’re off to Simi, CA, to take in the Secrets of WWII exhibit at the Reagan Library and spend a couple of nights in a favorite hotel.  With gas prices over $6 and Covid once again on the rise, we plan to stay close to the hotel, walking when we can, and keep as much to ourselves as possible while wearing masks at the Library.  But despite those travel drawbacks, we’ll have a good time learnin’ and relaxin’.

I thought I’d share some of our wedding pictures on the blog today, even though it’s a day early.  It was a bittersweet journey through the photo’s this year, since we won’t be getting an anniversary card from The Mom.  Also missing my grandparents, especially my grandfather, who walked me down the aisle.

SO!

42 YEARS!

Enjoy these photos from our Big Day.
