Wedding Anniversary #SundaySalon
Happy Sunday! Sunday Salon is hosted by Deb at ReaderBuzz. Check out her post and the links to see what other bloggers have been up to in the last week.
How’s the weather?
I had a cold and it’s been cold, so I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to the weather. Today, though, I’m feeling better and it’s sunny and over 50 degrees, so I completed my long walk. I’m glad that the days off still left me fit enough to do that.
What are you reading?
I’m still reading A Lot Like Christmas by Connie Willis, a collection of humorous short stories with science fiction elements. There are stories about lots of things that I have loved about Christmases past and present — choirs, chatty newsletters, and movies.
What are you watching?
I just started watching That Christmas on Netflix. It’s an animated movie set in Wellington-on-Sea in Great Britain. The two voices that I recognize are Bill Nighy and Jodie Whittaker. But, as for most children’s movies, the child actors voicing the children in the story are the real stars. I’ve been surprised by how delightfully layered the story is. The script is tons better than some of the Christmas rom coms that I watched last week.
What are you doing?
Today, we’re celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. I looked it up and someone has decided that is the amethyst year. I guess I’ll put my amethyst bracelet on for the rest of the day to bring us luck. We’re celebrating with a favorite home-cooked meal, especially in the winter — sous vide turkey thighs, stuffing with apples, and brussels sprouts with a lime-dijon-maple syrup sauce.
What are you up to this fine Sunday?
Happy Anniversary!!! That meal sounds delicious!!!
Happy Anniversary!
We loved That Christmas too! So delightful.
I think I tried to find the Connie Willis collection last year. Must have a look to see if I have it or if I need to find again!
Great books, great celebration, Joy! Hope you have a wonderful anniversary dinner.
That Christmas looks like a fun movie. We will check that out!
It has warmed up here too and so it feels like spring! I only wish! Happy anniversary to you
Happy anniversary, I hope you enjoyed your meal together!

Happy Anniversary! It’s been very cold here, but I’m hoping we hit 50 later in the week. Guess it’s time to go to Florida… Hope you have a good week.
I have not been out for a walk in almost a month. I really should take advantage of the warmer weather today.
Happy anniversary! Your meal sound delicious.
Happy anniversary! I love the sound of the brussels sprouts.
I’m glad you are enjoying the Connie Willis collection.
Yum!! I love Brussels sprouts! And happy anniversary!
I just added That Christmas to our list to watch!
It’s good to hear you’re feeling better and enjoyed a sunny day with a long walk. Sometimes a bit of fresh air is the perfect remedy.
“A Lot Like Christmas” by Connie Willis sounds like a delightful read. The mix of humorous short stories with sci-fi elements must be so entertaining.
Happy 33rd wedding anniversary! Celebrating with a favorite home-cooked meal sounds wonderful. The menu you’ve planned is mouth-watering. Enjoy your special day and the amethyst year!
Happy anniversary! I hope it was a good one.
Happy Anniversary!
I’ve got That Christmas on the want-to-watch list. Looks cute.
A Lot Like Christmas sounds like fun–I’m not much into sci-fi, but I’m always on the lookout for interesting, different takes on holiday reading.
Happy belated anniversary! Was it a December wedding long ago? It seems like it’s getting Christmas-y there … with you reading & watching Christmas stories. Enjoy.
It was a Christmas-themed wedding. I wore green velvet! I think I put up a photo somewhere — https://www.joyweesemoll.com/2012/12/14/a-wedding-with-a-christmas-theme/
