Is our 30th anniversary. That one's Pearl, I believe. Well it darn sure better be, 'cause I got her a set of earrings. :lol: We met in Germany and it so happens that Ft. Benning is doing their Oktoberfest this weekend (starting today with the traditional keg tapping) so... :banana:
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
