This is how people of a certain age and disposition celebrate a 59th wedding anniversary.
We took a morning walk in our park and saw how lucky it was to escape major damage from Irene. We lost one willow tree and the rest was small branches and stuff.
Disdaining our usual cereal-and-milk breakfast on this special day, we drove to “Toast,” a trendy breakfast-brunch-and-lunch establishment in nearby Montclair where we indulged in more esoteric fare. No details will be divulged.
Ventured westward in the afternoon to a Costco in East Hanover because our usual place in Wayne is under water. Bought a Toshiba laptop on sale but haven't opened it yet. Waiting for a day when I can give it my full attention. This is our anniversary present to ourselves. Inches us closer to modernity but in no hurry to get there.
My son sent two of his sons to our house later in the day to borrow our dehumidifier. I mentioned earlier that their Colts Neck home had significant water in the basement. Although they've removed the carpeting there is still a lot of moisture in the area. We hope a few days of dehumidifying will help.
Had a nice visit with the boys before they returned home. That was an added bonus to the day.
Returned to Montclair this evening where we dined at “Bistro 18.” Brought a bottle of champagne for the occasion and pretty much killed it. As we finished our dessert Gelato, George, the Proprietor, discreetly sent us a plate of cut fruit with a single lit candle to top off our celebratory dinner.
Nice day all around. A new day tomorrow.
