Bob & I are so blessed to still have one another after 61 years . We are doubly blessed that we love one another even more after all these years. We celebrated our special day yesterday by attending a special Wine Pairings dinner at the Madison Valley Ranches. It was a lovely, delicious experience. Enjoy it vicariously with us.
Began with a pretty sunsetThe new Madison Valley Ranch lodge is beautiful. Here’s our menuBob & I are feeling so grateful. Life is good!Mmmm … salmon with a beet sauce. Sooo good!Venison Wellington – so tasty!Such a fun surprise to have Shirley & Bob Bayley there, too! Bob is the architect who designed our home!We made new friends, too. This is Julie. She and her husband, Greg, were great table mates!This young man was there celebrating his 61st birthday. Hah! Born the day we were married!!The baked Alaska was a perfect grand finale!!Short if licking the plate, we could not have demonstrated more to the chef how much we enjoyed his cuisine!Thanks for joining us on our 61st via this post. I wish you long and happy loving relationships, too … and many healthy, blessed opportunities to celebrate life!
I tried to see this post today and it showed up in drafts as if it’s not posted! So, forgive me if this is a double … but better two than none, right? I wanna share this scrumptious evening with you, my friends.
Happy Presidents’ Weekend in the USA. Enjoy! Love to you from Bob/JanBeek ❤️❤️
Gosh….I don’t know which one! The salmon dish or the Baked Alaska? MmMmmMM! Yum! I’m SO glad you had a wonderful 61st celebration! I wish I could’ve been there. I love you both soooooooo much ✨💝❤️🥰✨😘
I also wish I could’ve joined you for dinner! What a menu! How did you have enough room? Happy 61st! I have enjoyed the pleasure of watching your amazing example of true love and devotion. We should definitely plan on celebrating together next year. 🥰
Oh how wonderful Jan… Thank you for sharing such a wonderful celebration with us all . What a truly lovely meal and fabulous company to eat with.. And WOWOW… to your Wedding Cake… And the Bride… Well Jan you looked stunning on the day of your wedding as you do on the day of your 61st Anniversary .. I am smiling ear to ear… at the Love and JOY you shared… ❤ 💐🥂🍰✨🎉🎈💖💞💝
Well-deserved celebration of the marriage lived in love, devotion, faith, and gratitude in actions.
Congratulations! Much health, joy, and love! May God continue to bless The Crown Bees and their blessed hive!
Thank you for making us a part of your joy and love, dear Lady Jan. Many, many congratulations and warmest hugs on yours and Sir Bob’s 61st. You two are just the most good-looking couple, then and now. I’ve recently turned to vegetarianism, but I surely would have enjoyed a big fat slice from your wedding cake!
A delightful celebration of 61 years together for a lovely couple dwarfed by their wedding cake. From that stupendous menu I would pick venison Wellington as my favourite – if I must select one. With love from Bothe Derrick and Jackie XX
Happy Anniversary and your dinner sounds like it was fabulous. We enjoyed great birthdays and had a great time celebrating. Thanks for the very nice card. I will call later today. Hugs to you both
Ah… good morning, Marcia!! Thank you for visiting JanBeek and leaving a message. Happy Washington Birthday to you! I send lotsa good wishes your way ❤️👌🏽😀
Congratulations to both of you! Jan, you and Bob have been blessed with the grace of God. As for the meal, I would be curious to sample a taste of Baked Alaska as I’ve never tasted it.
Oh my! What fun to hear from you!! Yes, we remember that 50th, too, and thank you for all your help with the BBQing of the meat with Ron for that Fri. nite dinner. 👍🏽❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day to you both 💕
