Oh! What a decade! Here we are all dressed up in our Tommy Bahama outfits for our perfect little Florida garden wedding on Long Boat Key. It was a Sunday and Father's Day on June 18th, 2000. We spent the night on our 36' Trawler Cheers in its slip on Anna Maria Island. Then we were off to the Long Boat Key Chapel for our garden wedding attended only by us, the minister, and God. We spent the rest of the day celebrating and communicating with friends and loved ones. Not all were happy with our decision to make it simple and private; but I think (hope) we are forgiven by now. So - - what happened to the decade? You can check out this link to read about the events in the world during this time. 3rd Millennium, 21st Century, 2010s Some key words that come to mind are terrorist attacks, hurricanes, tsunamis, flu epidemics, financial collapse, new wars, old wars, threats of war, the end of the space exploration, continued reliance on oil, chemically engineered food, and an unimaginable man made environmental disaster. Oh yes - I should mention Ipods, Facebook, Twitter, Blogging - digital everything....And - you wonder why we moved to the country? Actually, I have to admit that my one requirement before purchasing our property was that we would have a DSL connection. Still no cell service though..... Oh, well!
Here we are in 2010 growing older, struggling with aches and pains, and wanting to do a lot more than we get done in a day. I wonder what this picture will look like in 2020? Will we still be blogging then? I can't imagine how that will change over the next decade. In spite of the state of the world, we are blessed in many ways and thankful for all of these - loved ones, friends, neighbors, good health and a beautiful place to live and enjoy life in the country. Here's to many more decades!
