Well, their 50th anniversary is this saturday. My brother and I tried to get something planned for them, some kind of surprise dinner or something. They weren’t very cooperative as far as when they were going to be where. They are planning on going back ‘home’ and where they went on their honeymoon. I think one of my aunts spilled the beans about us planning something, as I was told by my Mom…NO PARTY. They decided to stay in Casper through this weekend and my brother and I are going to dinner with them Sat night. Yes yes, we are picking up the tab. 🙂 Nice surprise though, my uncle (Mom’s brother), his wife, and a couple of my Mom’s sisters are coming out to surprise them at dinner. I’ll have to clarify to Mom that it was not my idea. 🙂 Anyway, not sure if any of you would want to email them, as I think this is quite an accomplishment, feel free to do so at tamdanaher AT bresnan DOT net. Might want to wait until tomorrow or Saturday to email if you do, since it’s not actually until sat. Thanks to you that do email them, hopefully no spammers pick their email address out. – Stevo ---

Susan sounds like they ‘said’: [color=blue] > Done. Hope they had a great day, celebrating in whatever way made them > happy. : )[/color] So my response to Susan’s comment is… Thanks for the email. Surprised them w/ Mom’s brother & sis-in-law plus one other sister showed up. Nice dinner, Dad was a little upset that we picked up the tab, but no way were they paying for this dinner. – Stevo ---

Dad’s are Dad’s. You have to wrestle the check from them for awhile, but they eventually give in.

She sent a congratulatory email sat morn and said in it, “Hope this email isn’t interrupting your surprise company”. …blink blink – Stevo ---

Some people just don’t think, which is why it’s difficult to surprise anyone. There’s always someone who does something you’d everyone would have the sense not to do. LOL.
