Our Actual Anniversary Day - June 13

On June 13 we flew from San Francisco to Chicago. It was the last leg of flying from Malaysia. We were exhausted. Pam said she knew we were too tired to go out to eat, but we had to do something for our anniversary... So Gene's mom, Gloria, got supper for us of steak, baked potato, tossed salad, and cake. From somewhere Gene got enough energy to cook it for us. It was perfect and all we had to do was sit down at Pam's dining room table. The steaks were cooked to perfection! After we ate Pam and Gene had a gift for us...a puzzle! It seemed like a nice...but unlikely gift for us, because Jerry isn't really into puzzles. But after we read the box we understood! It's a picture of an eagle's head. It's an earth friendly jigsaw puzzle, imbedded with wildflower seeds! Over 3,000 aluminum cans were used to create the image... or the same amount discarded in just the U.S. every single second! So after we put it together we're to soak it over night and then plant the puzzle!
Lord, thank You for our creative children. This is a wonderful gift for us. Thank You for our 50 years.

What a unique gift, I've never heard of anything like it. What a wonderful gift of dinner cooked for you too. I would love that. Glad your 50th was so special as you both are.
