Brut Imperial

La versión en español está después de la versión en inglés.

We went to Mesón Salvador last night for our anniversary dinner. Cristina, Alfonso, and Maria, and Elena, Tynan, and Paula joined us for the celebration. The two families had never met and it was a perfect mix. Conversation and laughter never stopped. The meal was, as usual, perfect. We finished with a bottle of champagne lovingly served by Anderson. A memorable anniversary. I forgot to mention: I have absolutely no pain.

Fuimos a Mesón Salvador anoche para nuestra cena de aniversario. Cristina, Alfonso y María, y Elena, Tynan y Paula se unieron a nosotros para la celebración. Las dos familias nunca se habían conocido y era una mezcla perfecta. La conversación y las risas nunca pararon. La comida fue, como siempre, perfecta. Terminamos con una botella de champaña servida con amor por Anderson. Un aniversario memorable. Olvidé mencionar: No tengo absolutamente ningún dolor.

• Maria likes photos and videos. Her parents discourage the videos. Fortunately, Paula, a gifted musician starting her last year at university, doesn’t have any silliness on her phone. Maria watched with rapt attention how to string a violin.
• A María le gustan las fotos y los videos. Sus padres desaconsejan los videos. Afortunadamente, Paula, una talentosa música que comienza su último año en la universidad, no tiene ninguna tontería en su móvil. María observó con gran atención cómo encordar un violín.
• Anderson pours the champagne. We wish he could have joined us. Check out his smile in the short video at bottom.
• Anderson sirve el champán. Ojalá pudiera haberse unido a nosotros. Mira su sonrisa en el video corto en la parte inferior.
• Elena wanted an artsy photo of the champagne. Tynan and Paula refused to get out of the way. I focused on them.
• Elena quería una foto artística del champán. Tynan y Paula se negaron a quitarse de en medio. Me concentré en ellos.

    1. Not that there was anything wrong with your younger photos, but you and SG have grown SO handsome over the years. Age becomes you! Hooray for the absence of pain!

  1. It looks like a good time was had by all! And there’s no better way to celebrate than a nice dinner out with a few close friends.

    1. Ron Troke:
      Can you imagine what people thought when they saw the “42” candles placed in front of SG?

  2. What a beautiful Anniversary party, you see Champagne cures all, drink a bottle a day just like Churchill did.

  3. No pain before or after the champagne? If before, Yay! If after, yay. You two are quite beautiful or at least, very photogenic 🙂 Looks like such a fun outing. It must be nice to still remember your anniversary. I forgot ours. 48 years. Oh well, maybe next year. No, that will be our 50th high school reunion.

    1. Bob:
      Yes, that’s one adorable smile. And an adorable human being, as well. He checked up on me while I was in hospital.

  4. No pain, all gain! Woo hoo!
    It’s just so much fun watching you and Jerry and your friends 🙂 Happy anniversary!

    1. Judy C:
      Yes! No pain! I can’t believe it. We’re still coasting on the joy of that evening, too.

    1. Jan from Perth:
      Thanks so much. When we met, I couldn’t imagine celebrating 42 years.
