A Simple Lunch for Our 62nd Wedding Anniversary

Today May 8, 2019 is our 62nd wedding anniversary. We celebrated it last Sunday, May 5 with a simple lunch with only 4 guests, Dennis and Karen Richardson( our neighbor) and Ian King ( my oldest grandson) and Sara Lynn ( his housemate and partner). I invited several relatives and friends for our lunch but the reason only 4 came was discussed in my previous posting a few days ago(The Days prior to our 62nd Wedding Anniversary-5-1-19).

The following photos showed our cake, the menu, Ian and Sara, Dennis and Karen with me and Macrine. David III was our photographer.

Our simple menu consists only of Pancit, Kare-kare, Honey-bake ham, puto, rice and menudo besides the cake.

We thank the Lord for all his blessings on this day of our 62nd wedding anniversary. Also, many thanks to all our friends and relatives of their greetings and messages( via FB) and telephone calls. We are indeed lucky to be alive on this day-another important event in our marriage. May God Bless us All!

Note: Today is also the birthday of our oldest daughter, Dinah. Happy Birthday, Dinah!!

Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center

These are the reviews from from two of our guests published at the Trip Adviser web site. Visit the Trip Adviser website for additional details. 1.What a peaceful place to spend relaxing time in Marinduque! The cottage is very comfortable, and right on the beach, with a large deck for watching the sunset. The location in Boac (and not too far from Gasan) is well placed for a home base for day trips around Marinduque. But the best part of our stay here was the graciousness of the hosts, David and Macrine. They are warm-hearted, know the island well, and truly made us feel at home. Although we were there to explore the island and relax, the property has a great conference/meeting facility as well. Highly recommended. 2. Nestled against the beach, this cottage on stilts was a great place to spend a week away from all the insanity of urban life. With a spacious deck, two bedrooms, a living room and a full kitchen, my entire family truly enjoyed their stay. The hosts, Dave and Macrine do everything possible to make you feel like family, while still giving you space and privacy. The beach is all of 25 feet away and early morning walks on the beach are what I remember most. My kids were fascinated with the bamboo flooring. A reef is just off shore and filled with beautiful fish to enjoy while snorkeling. I would go back in a minute if I could.

I love Sunsets! How About You?

1. Sunset from Balcony of the Chateau Du Mer Beach House, Amoingon, Boac, Marinduque, Philippines Over the years, I have seen and photographed several dozens of sunsets in several countries that my wife and I have visited. We have been to Marbella, Spain, Rome, Italy, London,England, Vancouver, B.C., Cancun, Mexico, Aruba, Hawaii( Maui, Kawaii, Big Island), Puerto Rico and most of the US big cities, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, St Louis, Miami, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, NV, Houston, TX and other small cities . But the two most beautiful sunsets that stir my emotion are the one at Amoingon Bay (#1- taken at the balcony of our Chateau Du Mer Beach house-top photo) and the one over Manila Bay(# 9 photo). You will probably say, I am partial since I am a Filipino-American, but judge it yourself. Above are ten of my favorite sunset pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Comments, anyone?
