We recently celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary with a four-day trip to Bend, Ore. Our daughter came with us, as she has on most of our anniversary trips, because there’s no better way for me to commemorate the blessed day of our marriage than paddling around a hotel swimming pool with the two people I love most in the world, thinking about the buffet breakfast we’re going to enjoy the next morning and wondering if it will include a waffle-maker or maybe hot oatmeal with all the fixings.
