Anniversary

Today is our 5th wedding anniversary. I cannot believe that it has already been five years since Sharon and I wed on the 14th hole of Ironwood Country Club's South Course. As we said the "I Do's" the coyotes in the nearby mountains began to howl. We were blessed to have our wedding music provided by the birds and coyotes of Palm Desert. After the ceremony we, together with about 30 friends and family members, had champagne and then drove our golf carts to the Club House for dinner. Each year, Sharon and I drive our golf cart to the site of the wedding and toast each other with champagne. The photo on the left side of the screen is the 14th hole. So a toast to my bride, my love and my friend -- Happy Anniversay Dear.
