Our anniversary is November twenty-second. This year the date was the day before Thanksgiving, just as it was the year we were married. That year we didn't have Thanksgiving Day dinner to prepare for but this year we did. It was wonderful to see all the Ohio clan except Jacquie who had to work. ( She is a manager for a restaurant.) Twelve of us are below. Three more arrived later in the day. The other six live in North Carolina and had Thanksgiving there.
Tom and I decided to celebrate our anniversary the following Wednesday. We went to Schmidt's German Restaurant in Columbus and then to the Columbus Museum of Art.
My dinner. Tom chose the buffet but I enjoyed having my food brought to me.

Looking out the window.
First new item in twenty-five years. We didn't try it. We have our old favorites. Next time I plan to try it.
Afterward we took a short walk in the village. Normally this time of year the weather would be unpleasant but on "our" day, the sun shone and fifty degree temperatures felt like early fall.
The homes and businesses were decorated for Christmas or in the process of being decorated. If you look closely, you will see a black and white dog behind the gate enjoying the day.
We stopped at The Book Loft and bought a Christmas CD which included Christmas songs sung in German.
Our next stop was The Columbus Museum of Art where we enjoyed comparing many Pointillist paintings. in the Post Impressionism special exhibit. There were also prints done in a variety of techniques.
