Our 7th anniversary celebration

Our anniversary celebration lasts two weeks.  Every year.  Why not?  We celebrate many different and meaningful events that happened our first two weeks together.  We have done this for seven years now. We'll continue doing it even when we are in wheelchairs in the old folks' home.  Or hopefully teetering around while dancing using our walkers in the southwest deserts we love so much.

Today we celebrated the first time Vicky came over to the house to practice dancing.  For the occasion, she wore the same outfit she wore seven years ago. I told her I was wearing the same socks. 

This is a waltz to Lavender's Blue, from the Disney film Cinderella.  Only weird film buffs would know this, but the song Lavender Blue was sung by Burl Ives in the very sweet 1948 Disney film So Dear to My Heart.  Ives sung it to a different beat, 4-4.  It was adapted for Cinderella in 3/4 time and sung beautifully by Lily James.

We also celebrated by dancing a Nightclub Two-step to the unforgettable Dolly Parton song "I will always love you."  We both think it is her best song.

Our "anniversary celebration" will last another 10 days. 

And, as usual, we went out for dinner at Buck's Cafe in Everett and then to dancing at Noreen's--what we did on our first date!
