Nine Years

Nine years ago Thursday, Cec and I were married at Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii.  These have been the happiest years of my life.  It is wonderful to have someone who loves you and admires you despite all your obvious faults.

We celebrated with a dinner at La Evente, a very small Italian bistro in Trinity (Did you say Italian bistro, as in restaurant, in Trinity, Texas? Yes, I did.  We do have something other than barbecue and Tex-Mex, you know.)  It was decorated very nicely, and they played operatic solos for background music.  

The food was excellent and much better than many big city Italian restaurants I've been to.  The restaurant has space for only 7 tables, and reservations are recommended.  They served free wine by the glass since they do no yet have a liquor license. After the main course, they honored our anniversary with a complimentary frozen cheesecake dessert, which was very good.
