\"Forty-nine\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we are during a quick break. Sorry about Anne’s blink. Symbolic, perhaps, how fast the years have flown. (Click picture to enlarge.)<\/h6>\n

I asked a friend, recently married, how it was going. His answer, “So far, so good.” I laughed and said, same with me. Which is a good thing, since as of today we reached our 49th year.<\/p>\n

Not bad after starting out on a five-day notice. But that’s another story.<\/p>\n

This day we find ourselves in Westlake Village undertaking a very ambitious project for Joni and Friends, a ministry to the disabled. Today begins their first international conference, with about 900 people involved. My part is to paint a massive 17 ft. by 6 ft. mural with 20 people surrounding a banquet table.<\/p>\n

Besides being accompanied with the likes of sophisticated wheel chairs and crutches, they’re all in international dress. AND it’s all to be completed in four days! (That’s my idea, anyway.) After that they plan to hang in their headquarters for posterity. (I just hope it turns out.)<\/p>\n

Happily, Anne is helping me. \u00a0Yesterday we put up a background color (time consuming itself, with so much square footage) and the charcoal sketch. That’s what we started with today. Though Anne is a fine artist, she’s not a painter. This is the test to whether our marriage will make it to 50 years. (I’M JOKING!)<\/p>\n

So this is a quick greeting to you, with thanks for yours back, even if you don’t utter it. We’re grateful for our friends . . . also part of the strength of our marriage, which is, of course so far, so good.<\/p>\n
