I like to do big celebrations for random birthdays. Forget the even decades, I went all out for 26, 39, and 44.

The idea of creating more celebrations throughout life is a delightful one!

The last thing I think I celebrated was getting a haircut after the shops were closed in the pandemic. No bubbly but I did celebrate by getting a haircut.

My husband had a huge retirement/62nd Birthday party - it was a Facebook live event for friends & family scattered around the globe. He looked forward to that day for YEARS - and he hasn't looked back.

It also served as our Bon Voyage party as we set sail (literally) on the next chapter of our lives.

Me? The hubs used to say: "I took a young wife so she could work a lot of years". That was cute when we were young. I'm still working.

We, too, keep a bottle of bubbly in the auxiliary fridge - just in case.

As for occasions to celebrate; there's one every day. Sunset. Celebrating another day together. We have Sundowners with friends (aka Happy Hour) or if at anchor in a new bay - with each other. Sometimes with an alcoholic concoction... others with a lemonade.

Days together?

16,252 and counting...

Now THAT'S something to celebrate!

I know a lot of people who cracked into their champagne last Thursday. 😀
