Today would have been  Mom and Dad's 21st anniversary.  We're going to stay close to Mom today because we know she'll be sad.  They were lucky to have 17 beautiful years together.   Here are a few photos of them from their wedding day.

Boy were they a LOT younger in this picture!!!!  Auntie El was Mom's Matron of Honor and Daddy's friend Larry was his best man.

Oh yeah.....get all mushy on us......

Friendly Fill-Ins and Sedona Day 5

We're pawticipating in Friendly Fill-ins sponsored by McGuffy's Reader and 15 and Meowing.

1. I challenge everyone to __Be KIND to each other______ this week.

2. I regret disposing of __My collection of Barbra Streisand records....even though I don't have a turntable to play them on_.

3. I have a difficult time admitting how easily I can work myself into a frenzy about things that I have no control over.

4. If I were given a psychic power, I would like it to be    Faith Healing which is the ability to diagnose or cure diseases using religious devotion.

Day 5 in Sedona was Memorial Day and Mom and Dad's Anniversary!   The Cozy Cactus was decorated with flags for Memorial Day.

Mom and Dad drove around and did some sightseeing.....

Chapel on the Hill..... 

Bell Rock (we could actually see this from our room)

We all had dinner at The Hudson....

Aren't they cute?

They actually had the same dessert they had last year.....Ellie's Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie!!!

When they got back to the Cozy Cactus, they joined some of the other guests sitting around the fire.  Good times!!! Mom and Dad say that they have met the nicest people at the Cozy Cactus.

Flat Raz - Tasty Tuesday and the Chapel of the Holy Cross

Flat Raz sure had a great time eating and drinking his way through Sedona.   Today we're going to share some photos from Mom and Dad's anniversary dinner and the Chapel of the Holy Cross.

The day started with Dad's favorite breakfast at the Cozy Cactus.  It was a Vortex puff with lemon curd.....when you cut into it there is warm berry filling.   Totally AWESOME!

Mom and Dad visited the Chapel of the Holy Cross which is one of the most beautifully designed chapels!   From the Chapel website:

The Chapel of the Holy Cross was a gift from Marguerite Brunswig Staude, a sculptress, philanthropist, and devout Catholic, who believed the arts should be in service of spirit and indeed, considered the Chapel of the Holy Cross to be her greatest artistic achievement and the fulfillment of her life's mission. In 1932 Staude had an epiphany. While she gazed upon the newly completed Empire State Building, she saw a cross superimposed on the structure, and she thought, "What an idea for a church!" This idea, which affirmed her belief that churches should speak to the people of their time, would haunt and inspire Staude. "God can be worshipped as a contemporary--bringing him closer to earth and every one of us," she said. - See more at: http://www.gatewaytosedona.com/sedona-arizona-information/sedona-attractions/91-the-chapel-of-the-holy-cross-sedona-architectural-landmark#sthash.yZhjSLwl.dpuf

Interior shot of the Altar.   If you biggify it, you can get an idea of the fantastic view!

One of the reasons this site was picked was because of the center rock formation.  If you look closely, it looks like the Madonna and child.  The other rocks give the appearance of Nuns watching over.

Since it was their anniversary, Carrie from the Cozy Cactus suggested The Hudson  for dinner and offered to call to make reservations for them.  Once again, they had a delicious and creative dinner!!

Ut oh.....here he goes again......

Mom and Dad each had the same thing for dinner - the BEEF & BLUE CENTER CUT PRIME BEEF FILET (Mom had hers without the potatoes).  Biggify the picture to see how beautifully the meal was!  They did a weave of asparagus and little bouquets of the veggies!!

Of course there was dessert....They figured they should have this one since it was named after Ellie!!  ELLIE’S CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PIE

Between the wine and the dessert, Flat Raz was seen snoozing on the table!!!
